Chasing Misery: an anthology of essays by women in humanitarian responses

€œWhat 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 €œunblinking€ 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.
