IN THE NEWS “For years, the only evidence Price had of being sexually exploited as a child was snippets of memory: needles pricking her in her sleep, strange men, little girls in lingerie. Through therapy and a decade-long journalistic investigation, she uncovered the extent of her father’s abuse. Through education, she transformed personal trauma into collective change, becoming a world-renowned researcher of child sex trafficking. Told with unflappable candor and explosive insight, this once-in-a-generation memoir is a beacon for survivors and a testament to human resiliency.”

IN THE NEWS “The onerous cost of raising a family in Massachusetts is another challenge for a state that has struggled to hold onto younger workers, many who flee Massachusetts in search of lower costs of living. Young workers raising families not only contribute to the labor force, but also help propel the consumer-driven economy by buying homes, cars, furniture, and other goods and services. ‘[Families] are going to go to other places where it’s not so expensive to live,” said Wendy Robeson, senior research scientist at Wellesley Center for Women at Wellesley College, “and that’s bad for everybody.’”

According to the UN, more than half of those killed or injured in the earthquake were women and girls.”
