Showing results for "Legacy" in Sexual & Reproductive Health

The history of the AIDS epidemic has largely been told from the perspective of gay men: their losses, struggles, and contributions. But what about the women - in particular, straight women? Not just Elizabeth Taylor and Princess Diana, but thousands whose accomplishments have never been recognized? Drawing on personal interviews and archival research, Fag Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community is the first book to share the stories of women around the world, throughout the epidemic.

Our Children, Our Legacy explores the duo of reproduction and nutrition. The health we pass on to the next generation will determine whether our children and their children continue to become victims of chronic diseases, or whether we act now to change that legacy. The need for parents-to-be to get their own metabolic health in order and maintain that during pregnancy, and after, is imperative. This book explores the societal dilemma and offers clear advice on how to build a strong foundation for lifelong health, starting even before conception.
