Description
Risk and Resistance explores the profound impact of feminist movements on how law and science approached the AIDS crisis. Aziza Ahmed demonstrates how feminists challenged dominant scientific narratives and legal frameworks that marginalized women and vulnerable populations in AIDS research and policy-making.
The book traces the historical development of feminist interventions in both legal regulation and scientific inquiry during the epidemic. It reveals how feminist scholars and activists worked to center women’s experiences, question risk categories, and advocate for more inclusive and equitable approaches to AIDS treatment, prevention, and research.
Through detailed case studies and analysis, Ahmed shows how feminist critiques fundamentally reshaped our understanding of disease, risk, and responsibility. This work is essential for understanding the relationship between social movements, law, and science in public health crises.
