Female drug addicts are often stereotyped either as promiscuous, lazy, and selfish, or as weak, scared, and trapped into addiction. This title presents a critical feminist analysis of the drug world. By shifting the discussion to one centered on women's agency and empowerment, it reveals the experiences and social relationships of women addicts.
