2. In this respect, Maher's book is much more successful than Jennifer Friedman and Marixsa Alicea's, Surviving Heroin: Interviews with Women in Methadone Clinics (University Press of Florida) Gainesville, 2001, which, in attempting to grant agency (as resistance to gender norms) and respect to the women studied, tends to romanticise them and, paradoxically, to minimise the women's responsibility for their actions.
