Am sending this post, because so many listserv members ordered the book and supported WISE in 
other ways.

Well, I Just found out. Received the letter today. And I'm so excited I can hardly stand, let alone 
sit, still.

For newcomers to this list, the book produced by WISE in 2005 was Policies of Exclusion, Poverty & 
Health: Stories from the Front. It was entirely done, from project inception and research to design 
and publication, by low-income women. No university researchers or professional consultants 
were involved.

The book includes a) the first-person accounts of 21 low-income Cowichan Valley women who 
participated in a WISE* study during the summer of 2004 and, b) two reports, also by us.

In other words, the book is in the first person and from our own perspective throughout. Daphne 
Moldowin, co-author on Challenging the Commonplace, and I were two of the 21 storytellers.

Since WISE sold out all its copies earlier this year, I've been adding audio files of the book's 
chapters to my podcast channel. Didn't want the women's stories and voices to stop getting out.

Now, hopefully, they'll be broadcast even further and there'll be orders coming in again. 

* WISE Membership, which was free, was comprised solely of low-income women. Fee-paying 
Associate Members and Friends (donors) also joined us, in support of our work.
