Women in the Time of AIDS: Women, Health and the Challenge of HIV
Published 1997
By Gillian Paterson.
From conversations with women around the world, messages on billboards, an analysis of popular women's magazines in Brazil, descriptions of sexual taboos in Asia, Women in the Time of AIDS uses frank talk and chilling detail to show the myriad ways cultures devalue women and women's experience and contribute to the spread of AIDS. Not hesitating to name the hypocrisy of the church, Paterson challenges churches lovingly and compassionately to accept and support women, particularly those affected by AIDS - as Jesus would have done. Accessible in language, rigorous in its argument, Women in the Time of AIDS in must reading for all those involved in international health and global development, particularly in the churches.
