The struggles African American women and their adolescent daughters
face in living healthy, active lives From heart disease and
diabetes to HIV and obesity, Black women and girls face serious
health risks, lagging behind their white counterparts by every
measure of health, well-being, and fitness. In Black Women's
Health, Michele Tracy Berger shows us why this is the case,
exploring how the health needs of Black women and girls are
uniquely rooted in their experiences with racism, sexism, and class
discrimination. Drawing on interviews with mothers and their
daughters, as well as compelling medical data, Berger provides
insight into the larger patterns that place Black women at such
high risk on a national level. She shows how Black mothers
communicate with their daughters about health, sexuality, and
intimacy, including how they attempt to promote healthy living
standards even as they navigate widespread, systemic challenges.
Ultimately, Berger highlights the important role that family-and
specifically, the relationship between mothers and daughters-plays
in improving public health outcomes. Black Women's Health takes a
much-needed, intimate look at how Black women and girls navigate
different paths to wellness.
