Chasing Misery: an anthology of essays by women in humanitarian responses - Paperback
by Kelsey Hoppe (Author)
"What motivates any of us to do the work we do? And more importantly does that work make a difference?" This is the question film producer and founder of filmaid.org, Caroline Baron, reflects on when she calls Chasing Misery an "unblinking" account of what it's like to be a woman on the front lines of global humanitarian responses. Twenty-one first person essays and 23 stunning photographs give readers a glimpse into the lives of real women who respond to emergencies-their hopes, fears, questions, challenges, frustrations as well as glimpses of the humour, beauty, and hope they find in the midst of misery.
Chasing Misery is an anthology of essays and photographs from 26 women involved in humanitarian responses. All of the women contributed their observations and insights from their experiences of humanitarian aid work over the past decade. Contributors come from a variety of countries-from Yemen to Australia-and most still work in either humanitarian aid or development around the globe.
