"In Her Hands is outstanding in its research and widely contributes to several fields--ranging from the history of social movements to women's health and incarceration--which makes it exciting and significant."--Leslie J. Reagan, author of When Abortion Was a Crime: Women, Medicine, and Law in the United States, 1867-1973 "This beautifully researched study is a major intervention in US gender history, sexuality studies, and the history of health-care activism. Emma Day examines the multiple ways in which women in the US have responded to the AIDS crisis since the 1980s. Her analysis of the gendered politics of transmission and recognition, reproductive rights, lesbian organizing, incarceration, and health-care access provides new insights into both the HIV crisis and women's-rights movements."--Jonathan Bell, Professor of US History, University College London "Day's important history examines how intersecting oppressions have shaped women's experiences of AIDS, placing them at increased risk, under surveillance, and without access to affordable and effective methods of preventing HIV infection. Day expertly reveals how this has contributed to the wider unraveling of reproductive rights, and by demonstrating the role of poverty, prisons, and intimate partners in the ongoing pandemic, powerfully reminds us of the devastating impact of inequality on health."--Manon S. Parry, author of Broadcasting Birth Control: Mass Media and Family Planning
