We present results of our research, which has been aimed at understanding the experience, practice, and sexual life in women over 50 years of age. We studied a sample of 729 women of between 50 and 80 years of age. The research is part of qualitative feminist research methodology. Both qualitative and quantitative data have been collected through focus groups and a questionnaire drawn up by our research team. The results show the satisfaction of older women-of all ages-with their sex life and the importance of contextual and relational sexuality issues of women. Autoeroticism is the most established sexual practice in this group of older women and highlights who want to experience some changes in their current sex life around the desire for a more sensual and emotional sexuality, with a claim of more passionate and frequent relations. The data collected reveal a qualitative difference in the reality of sex over the age of 70.

Since its emergence in 1980s, Feminist Research Methodology has become a legitimate, relevant and popular research model. Its quality, and the validity of its findings are beyond contention, and over the years it has produced a significant output that has provided guidelines for policies central to modern society. For its founders and developers, Feminist Research Methodology is designed to study the social conditions of women in a sexist, ‘malestream’ and patriarchal society. Yet, this methodology is rarely used in studies dealing with women problems in Indonesia. Thus paper aims discuss FMR and its application of the model in divorce studies.

The Chapter addresses the plausibility and transformatory potential of internally migrated women working in the readymade garment factories in Dhaka to work as a critical mass to challenge the existing class and culture in urban Dhaka. Based on a feminist research methodology and reviewing of relevant scholarly research, the chapter breaks down itself into two main parts. The former focuses on the literature on migration, paid work and empowerment and the latter part deals with the evidences of credibility and potentiality of working women to make a rupture into the existing class system and cultural set up of urban Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh. The chapter ends with a realistic standpoint that calls for further investigation and sanction into this area of immense and strong possibility.

As more than 90% of the RSA’s nurses are women and as at least 50% of the health care clients are also women, nursing research can definitely benefit by incorporating feminist research approaches. Specific feminist research issues which could be relevant to nursing research include: * inherent themes in feminist research * feminist research methodology * gender stereotypes and nursing research * gender-based stereotypes of researchers * potential benefits of incorporating feminist research approaches in nursing research.
