Look into a project looking into old women’s taste in literature

For my final project, I am interested in interviewing old women of different education levels about how much they read of each hendre. I will also ask what they read as kids, what they think of e-books, and how their reading habits have changed since the quarantine.

I am interested in this idea because elderly women are often ignored in the literary landscape—book recommendations always seem to be based of off what Millenials are reading

and reading is a crucial activity in culture right now. I am interested in expanding who we think of when it comes to reading habits. I will start by interviewing my grandmother and finding interview subjects through her. I may also research English professors online.

While researching, I have noticed that older people are seen as less trusting when it comes to reccomedians, and less likely to have good taste. I think it’s a good goal to change whose opinions we most trust.
