Abstract | This thesis explores the way women in mid and later life understand commitment to men in heterosexual relationships. Commitment in relationships is central to human experience but is greatly under-theorised in sociological literature. This lack of knowledge is even more pronounced in relation to women in mid and later life. To date there is no empirical research which specifically addresses this area of study and generational cohorts. Over the last 40 years the Office for National Statistics has recorded a steady increase in divorce, separation and the numbers of women living alone. This research is made more significant given the size of baby boomer and generation X cohorts. |
