ABSTRACT
Elderly women are a forgotten topic in women's research and in feminist issues. This article presents a concise summary of gerontological research on women's issues in Puerto Rico. Research is divided in two main categories demographic and health and social issues. A brief account of needed research areas is included. A demographic and health profile of older women in Puerto Rico and their informal support systems is presented. The article concludes with thoughts pertinent to the relevance of conducting research from the perspective of elderly women themselves and not merely that of researchers.
