Betty's life (and her humor) stand not only in defiance of the sexual compliance expected of women, but as a reminder that what is really happening is often far more interesting than the limited scenarios the media create. We also meet sex expert Betty Dodson who met her boyfriend Eric, 47 years her junior, in cyberspace when she was 69. We meet Ruth who met her husband Harry after 30 years of dating hell Harriet, a writer and bohemian who continues to see sex as the core of her life and Freddie, who enjoyed the best sex of her life with her third husband Syd.

Aware that many people see her as 'nothing but an old woman,' she is defiant in living life on her own terms.

Frances, 87, continues to enjoy a palpably sexual relationship with journalist David Steinberg, the love of her life she met at 80. Still Doing It reveals the wonderful truth that many older women are actually beginning intense romantic relationships after 65. Women over 65 are already the fastest growing segment of the population and when the baby boomers begin to turn 65 in 2011 their numbers will swell.

Outspoken for their generation these women mark a sea change. Partnered, single, straight, gay, black and white, nine extraordinary women, 67-87, express with startling honesty and humor how they feel about themselves, sex and love in later life and the poignant realities of aging. Flying in the face of this culture’s extreme ageism, Still Doing It explores the lives of older women.
