Workable Sisterhood

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the experiences of sixteen HIV-positive women with backgrounds in drug use, legal conflicts, or sex work, the book explores how their political participation is shaped by "intersectional stigma." Michele Tracy Berger highlights how these women, often facing compounded oppression due to race, class, and gender, encounter unique challenges that differentiate them from other individuals living with HIV. This empirical study sheds light on the complex interplay of social identities and systemic discrimination affecting their lives and activism.
