Image Description:
Purple flyer with no illustrations. A central compartment of text, with four bullet points: 1) Women with cancer, AIDS, and other serious diseases can't get access to potentially lifesaving drugs ... ; 2) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is necessary for medical treatments used by doctors in the U.S. ; 3) Pharmaceutical companies sell drugs newly approved by the FDA without knowing how those drugs will affect most women ... ; 4) The FDA makes rules for how medical treatments are tested, and the drug companies have to follow those rules to get their products approved for sale ... ; 5) Women have been demanding action from the FDA for at least 15 years and have been ignored. This compartment is surrounded by a light gray border of text that satirizes the F.D.A. name with three-word names and phrases starting with the same initials (e.g. "Federal Department of Androcentrism"). Contact names and telephone numbers of people in three states are listed.
