The face of AIDS is increasingly that of a woman: in some regions, women already constitute the majority of those infected. This book overviews the status of women in the global AIDS pandemic, and analyzes large-scale economic, political, and cultural forces that continue to place millions of women at increased risk for HIV infection. Case studies; charts; glossary; bibliography.
