First published in 1990, this book charts the emergence and rapid growth of Canada's powerful seniors' movement.

Seniors' political clout has been increasingly evident since the mid-eighties, when their protest convinced Brian Mulroney to drop his efforts to limit pension benifits. Gifford's book provides a short history of seniors' organizing and tells the personal and organizational stories of today's seniors' groups. Sections on the work of seniors' groups in the United States and Europe add a global dimension to the book's analysis.

Canada's Fighting Seniors is a pioneering study of the increasing organization and influence of older citizens in this country.
