“This book provides important information regarding the health and social issues of African-American women. Very few works give such a comprehensive review of the psychological, social and biological factors contributing to health status, provide the conceptual frameworks presented by some authors for understanding the relationships among these factors, or present an historical perspective on the values and events affecting health beliefs and behaviors....[A] useful resource for social workers who are concerned with the health and welfare of African-American women. It is thought provoking and suggests culturally sensitive strategies for working with this population.”–Social Work in Health Care
