The 2007 Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing (1919-2013) is one of the twentieth century's most prolific and versatile British writers. Parting from Barbara Frey Waxman’s concept of Reifungsroman (1988), this paper intends to analyse how the female protagonists in Doris Lessing’s The Summer Before the Dark and Love, Again perceive the changes going on inside them as their bodies are increasingly losing the virtues of youth and entering into middle age and old age respectively and how they come to terms with these changes and succeed in undermining cultural conceptions of ageing in women This is the first reaction the main female characters in Doris Lessing’s The Summer Before the Dark (1973) and Love, Again (1996) experience when they scrutinise their faces and bodies in front of the mirror and fail to recognise them as their real ones, the ones that defined them in their youth, just a few years ago. In Western societies, wrinkles, white hair, impending falling jaws and limbs are seen, both by ageing women themselves and by their communities, as a straight and unstoppable road into invisibility that will end up in social exclusion. The first signs of ageing are shown in the external body. The ageing process is usually perceived as a time of loss and decline, especially for women.

Describing how the science developed from its early beginnings, he looks at some of the key discoveries that have transformed it, before delving into its various subfields, such as sedimentology, tectonics, and stratigraphy. In this Very Short Introduction Jan Zalasiewicz gives a brief introduction to the fascinating field of geology. Within the study of geology lie some of the clues to the extraordinary impact our species is going to play out on the planet, in centuries and millennia to come. The fruits of geology provide most of the materials that give us shelter, and most of the energy that drives our modern lives. Ranging across the 4.6 billion year history of the planet, geology is the subject that encompasses almost all that we see around us, in one way or another, and also much that we cannot see, beneath our feet, and on other planets.
