Fag Hags, Divas and Moms
The history of the AIDS epidemic has largely been told from the perspective of gay men: their losses, struggles, and contributions. But what about women - in particular, straight women? Not just Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana, but thousands whose accomplishments have never been recognized?
In 1986, the Junior League confounded expectations and created programs around the US and Mexico to advocate for treatment and research, while providing direct services to the AIDS community - some of which still are active. Trudy James set up a support program matching faith communities and people with AIDS in Arkansas in the darkest days of the epidemic. Dozens of others women pitched in, doing whatever they could to make a difference. Martha Cameron has been a savior to HIV-infected children in Zambia.
Drawing on personal interviews and archival research, Fag Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community, is the first book to share the stories of women around the world, throughout the epidemic. Victoria Noe assures their place in women's history, for their determination to educate and advocate, to end the epidemic once and for all.
