Abstract
It seems remarkable that so many women are now facing retirement in our field. This is not because women do not retire, but because a generation ago there were so few who reached that stage that it was hardly the subject of discussion. Now retirement plans and options, emerita status and Festschriften are regular parts of our concern, as they should be. Just as women are still often discriminated against in hiring, promotion, and tenure, there are problems with retirement as well.
