Unattached And Over 40!

The Challenges Facing Formerly Married Women

In the context of International Women's Year, the Department
of National Health and Welfare, the YWCA and the United Way have
sponsored a research project to explore the interests, needs,
problems and attitudes of women between the age of 40 and 60, who
have been married, but due to separation, divorce or widowhood are
no longer married.

We would like to interview as many women as possible from the
whole Vancouver area, from various ethnic and social backgrounds.
This form is available from all organizations which address some
or all of their services to women, as well as from information
centres, libraries, and firms employing a large number of women.

All the interviews, conducted by a specially trained women
interviewer, will take place in complete confidentiality, at a time
and place convenient for the women who volunteered for the study -
the YWCA office, in her own home or, for instance, in a quiet
coffee shop.

We hope that the interviews will enable us to identify the
interests, needs and problems of this group of women and that we will
be able to make suggestions regarding information, services and/or
activities which would satisfy their interests, help them solve
their problems, and generally meet their needs. We will let you know
the results.of the Study.
