Thirteen remarkable women from one of Cape Town’s townships – all HIV positive – tell, through words, body maps, photos and artwork, how their lives have been transformed by antiretroviral treatment.We hear what it is like for them to dare talk about their dreams, to locate their suffering in the past, and to think about a long life for themselves and their HIV negative children. Here, within one cover, is a beautiful art book, a striking advocacy document, a rich ethnographic text, a graphic novel, a series of photo essays, and a history of the Treatment Action Campaign and of the work of Médecins Sans Frontières in SA.
