Reviews

This timely collection brings together the voices of those most concerned with the impact of HIV on women in Canada. It does an excellent job of using an equity lens to help us challenge what we think we already know about gender, health, and the possibilities of intervention. -- Sara Flicker, York University -- Elizabeth Saewyc, School of Nursing, University of British Columbia
