The Lesbian Health Book: Caring for Ourselves
編者：Jocelyn C. White, Marissa Martinez

作者本身是拉子醫師，也是美國Gay and Lesbian Medical Association的卸任理事長．我們即將在下幾次的讀書會，談到拉子健康行為的時候，唸一篇有關Ｔ認同和縮胸整形手術的文章，據說寫的很好讀，像故事一樣，好加在，呼！

ANNOTATION

FROM THE CRITICS
Library Journal
Edited by White, a physician and past president of the Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, and technical writer Martinez, this work will be welcomed by many lesbians, particularly those residing outside of larger urban areas. It would also be extremely useful for healthcare professionals. The book opens with documentation on how homophobia often prevents lesbians from obtaining adequate medical care and concludes with a hefty resource guide listing hot lines, organizations, Internet sites, newsletters, and books on a variety of health topics. These two sections are the book's strongest. The middle section consists of personal essays by lesbians on their experiences with the healthcare system. The topics covered range from reproductive issues to chronic disease, AIDS, and breast cancer; information on substance abuse is conspicuously missing. Though the writing is somewhat uneven, as with many anthologies, these stories could help women who are currently navigating the healthcare system themselves or on behalf of a partner, friend, or family member.
