Amazon #1 New Release!

In UNSTOPPABLE: Straight Women on the AIDS Frontlines, Victoria Noe returns to the subject of her award-winning 2019 book F*g Hags, Divas and Moms: The Legacy of Straight Women in the AIDS Community. But this time, the author focuses on the shifting public health environment of today.

Showcasing candid personal interviews that are complemented by extensive research, UNSTOPPABLE highlights the critical work of straight women to end the epidemic. Also explored are their responses to new challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the second Trump administration’s dismantling of HIV services, research, and treatment. How do they respond to the erasure of their accomplishments? Is the goal of ending the epidemic by 2030 no longer possible?

They are frustrated, exhausted, angry but determined. And they're not giving up.

 

‘Unstoppable: Straight Women on the AIDS Frontlines’ is an enduring and vital testament to world-changing women, without whom, my life as an HIV+ gay man would be infinitely less bright. ‘Unstoppable’ is a divine act of redemption; a devastating and enchanting honouring of human dignity as well as a treasure-chest of ideas that compels us to keep building healthcare for all. Onwards!’ - Dan Glass, ACT UP London activist and author.
 

“Unstoppable makes clear what history too often forgets: Black straight women have been leading the fight against HIV/AIDS on the frontlines and behind closed doors. Unstoppable reminds us that Black straight women’s stories matter. We have always carried HIV/AIDS advocacy forward—with courage, care, and vision for the future.” - Deborah Levine, Director, Harlem Health Initiative

 

“I started reading it this afternoon and haven’t been able to put it down. Unlike the last book, which took me back to the heydays of ACT UP, and the amazing women who were such an essential part of that fight, this book tells the stories of women who are fighting today.

I am proud to know so many straight women who continue to be a part of this fight. I am delighted that Victoria’s work showcases their contribution to the fight even now as the fight has been made so critical once again by this hateful Trump Administration.” - Charles King, CEO, Housing Works
