Old women are worse than old men. Women have an average life expectancy of seven years longer than men and tend to marry men older than themselves; so two thirds (six million) of all older women are widows. When widowed they do not have the same social prerogatives (特权) as older men to date and marry those who are younger. As a result, they are likely to end up alone --- an ironic turn of events when one remembers that most of them were raised from childhood to consider marriage the only acceptable state. The income levels of older working women are generally lower than those of men; many never worked outside the home until their children were grown and then only at unskilled, low-paying jobs. Others who worked all their lives typically received low wages, with lower Social Security and private retirement benefits as a result. Until 1973, housewives who were widowed received only 82.5 percent of their husbands' Social Security benefits even though they were full-time home-makers. (514 words)
