Reviews
In this unique book, Katie Hogan makes a persuasive and timely contribution to the analysis of a continued problem in the social understanding of the AIDS crisis: the systematic devaluation of women's medical and social risks. Through careful literary and filmic readings, Hogan makes a strong and persuasive plea for the need to resist the sentimentalization that has worked to promote the nostalgic return of women to traditional roles. Women Take Care is a humane and important book. John Nguyet Erni, University of New Hampshire
