Maria Shriver, whose California Women's Conference is the preeminent forum by, for and about American women, is joining with the Alzheimer's Association—the leader in Alzheimer care, support and research—to release The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's on Oct. 15. The Shriver Report is a groundbreaking, comprehensive examination of the impact of Alzheimer's disease on American women as caregivers, advocates and people living with the disease.
The Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Takes on Alzheimer's intends to ignite a national conversation by asking questions and answering them in a comprehensive and accessible way. In addition to substantive chapters by scholars and experts mining the data and explaining the breakthroughs and trends in the medical research, the economic impacts, the sociology and the cultural shifts—there will be personal essays, original photography by award-winning photojournalist Barbara Kinney and the results of a new, largest-ever nationwide poll on the effects of Alzheimer's on women and families.
