AIDS as a gender issue : psychosocial perspectives / edited by Lorraine Sherr, Catherine Hankins, Lydia Bennett.

"The psychological, medical and social ramifications of AIDS for women are examined as the chapters explore a variety of issues such as quality of life for women, children, orphans, drug use, and the ability of women to access services. These issues are addressed in a variety of situations such as sex work, prisons, family and the developing world. Authors are drawn from Europe, North America, the Middle East and Australia to provide a global focus for a book which will be crucial reading for all those interested in the evolving AIDS epidemic and any work or researcher involved with women and HIV/AIDS."--Jacket.
