DES Stories is the first book to put a face on DES. Men and women exposed to DES show their faces and tell their point of view. Their stories convey the courage and resiliency of DES survivors and show how DES is an ongoing reality for millions of people, worldwide. The National Cancer Institute estimates there are 10 million DES-exposed women and men in the U.S., and hundreds of thousands in Europe, Canada, Australia, yet DES exposure is little understood. Photography highlights the out-of-sight nature of DES exposure. The subjects' youthfulness and apparent health contrasts with their medical biographies and the bold honesty of their stories. DES Stories makes vivid the connections between DES and illness-and environmental chemicals that cause similar harm to wildlife. Includes 40 black-and-white photographs. References. Resources.
