"Anika Wilson has assembled an impressive presentation of the power of informal discourse, often fed by media, in a time of catastrophic threat to women. Folklore, Gender, and AIDS in Malawi is an important contribution to the literature of women's studies, as well as a valuable cautionary reminder to healthcare activists, that women's voices in time of crisis deeply matter-they are trivialized at great risk." (Erika Brady, Western Folklore, Vol. 74.3 (4), Summer-Fall, 2015)

Informal folk narrative genres such as gossip, advice, rumor, and urban legends provide a unique lens through which to discern popular formations of gender conflict and AIDS beliefs.
