Produktbeschreibung

"This unique anthology fills a void in the literature of public health policy. It provides a prism for understanding how women's well being is affected by hidden assumptions about color, class, and culture. Destined to become a classic, it is an indispensable guide in distinguishing science from pseudo-science, myth and mirage from medical fact."--Patricia Williams, Professor of Law, Columbia University
