Abstract
|
|
|
|
| This article interrogates the presentation of older women within magical school stories including the works of J.K. Rowling, Philip Pullman, and Jill Murphy. It examines how such women become emblematic of wider hierarchies of political, social, and cultural power, and how that positioning thus betrays various social anxieties about gendered aging and the place of older women in various institutions. |
