From heart disease and diabetes to HIV and obesity, Black women and girls face serious health risks, lagging behind their white counterparts by every measure of health, well-being, and fitness. Michele Tracy Berger shows us why this is the case, exploring how the health needs of Black women and girls are uniquely rooted in their experiences with racism, sexism, and class discrimination. Drawing on interviews with mothers and their daughters, as well as compelling medical data, Berger provides insight into the larger patterns that place Black women at such high risk on a national level. She shows how Black mothers communicate with their daughters about health, sexuality, and intimacy, including how they attempt to promote healthy living standards even as they navigate widespread, systemic challenges.

Deze introductie tot vrouwenstudies is met veel verve geschreven door twee hoogleraren vrouwenstudies. Studenten die overwegen een cursus vrouwenstudies te volgen, krijgen hier meteen alle informatie en argumenten om een weldoordachte keuze te maken. Het zat de twee professoren namelijk hoog dat studenten vrouwenstudies hun studiekeuze nogal eens moesten verantwoorden. Meestal krijgen ze de vraag gesteld wat ze nu eigenlijk kunnen aanvangen met een graad vrouwenstudies. Het antwoord kan je lezen in dit boek het is een bijzonder wervend boek geworden, geschreven met veel pasie. Een praktische gids ook die de studenten vrouwenstudies bij elke stap in hun opleiding begeleidt. En niet onbelangrijk, de transitie van de academische wereld naar de arbeidsmarkt komt ook aan bod. Interviews met werkgevers en afgestudeerden geven een beeld van de diversiteit aan loopbaanmogelijkheden.
