Reviews
Katie Hogan has already distinguished herself as one of the most prominent critics and scholars dealing with contemporary literature and representations of AIDS. Well-rooted in literary and historical images of illness and aimed toward promulgating a more progressive representation of women, her new book will become a central text. --Jeffrey Williams, University of Missouri, Editor of The Minnesota Review 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 Hogan takes a personal as well as scholarly approach in examining the issue of AIDS, women, and cultural representations of women with AIDS. --Book News
