More About the Author
Wendy Chapkis has published widely in the area of gender and sexuality including two books, Beauty Secrets (on women and the politics of appearance)and Live Sex Acts (on prostitution policies in the U.S. and the Netherlands). While still fascinated by both sex and gender, in the closing years of the 20th century she found herself increasingly drawn to drugs and death as subjects and as strategies. This interest informs her most recent book, Dying to Get High: marijuana as medicine, which presents the perspective of seriously and terminally patients and their caregivers in the Wo/Men's Alliance for Medical Marijuana.
