Politics & Social Sciences
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.
Because they’re unstoppable.

How Martina changed my book.
Martina Clark is her own chapter in the book because she embodies so many aspects of what the HIV community is going through right now. Her life's work - in the US and internationally - is most likely destroyed. She struggles to get approved for disability. She worries about being able to afford her medications. And yet, she finds a way to channel her anger into action, and find hope along the way. That inspired me.
