Woman of the Month
C. Virginia Fields: From Politician to Activist
People in neighborhoods all over New York City recognize C. Virginia Fields. For nearly 20 years she played several major roles in city government—including a seven-year term as Manhattan Borough President and a run for mayor. Now, as the new president and CEO of the National Black Leadership Commission on AIDS (NBLCA), she brings her political energy to a different campaign: Battling HIV/AIDS in the African-American community.

Overheard in the Women's Forum
"I have had a cervical dysplasia since my early 20's. I am going to be 37. I just recently went for a pap smear and it came back all clear. Once, when I had to go to a new gynecologist, she wanted me to get a full hysterectomy. I was diagnosed with HIV by then and I was maybe 24 or 25 when this doc tried to get me to have the hysterectomy. I think she wanted me not to have any kids because of my HIV. I have had 2 pregnancies and 4 healthy kids since then."
