Reviews

?In this unique study, Williams uses focused in-depth interviews and personal journals to explore how a particular group of women living in the environment of a large, northeastern, private university view their drug use and social relationships.... The book is interesting, insightful, and instructive. Recommended for readers interested in feminist research dealing with substance use and/or abuse.?-Choice
