ABSTRACT
This article complements emerging reviews and summaries of the recent expansion of sexuality studies within and beyond geriatrics and associated fields. To this end, we synthesize important insights and discussions taking place throughout geriatrics and other fields at present, and situate these conversations in broader discussions concerning sexualities, health, and aging. In so doing, we outline some gaps in existing work as well as opportunities for not only filling these gaps in our understandings of women's sexual health in later life but also in order to demonstrate the usefulness of expanding prior approaches to analyses concerning womanhood, aging, sexualities, and health over the life course. In conclusion, we outline some specific pathways for future research concerning women's sexual health in later life.
