Abstract
This study attempts to confront the three stereotypes attributed to women aged 50+ in Poland: the one related to women being interested in retiring as early as possible, the other related to the lack of educational activity and reluctance to acquire new knowledge and skills, and the third related to the image of a grandmother focused on looking after her grandchildren. The author’s aim is to present rational arguments in favour of changing the social image of this group, mainly due to the two-dimensionality of the discrimination affecting its members, as the special position of women aged 50+ is a result of overlapping of two groups of stereotypes: gender- and age-related.
