About this listen
With humility and candor, artist activist Mary Fisher inspires us when, in her eighth decade, she creatively takes on disease, poverty, hunger, injustice, racism and the role of women.
Uneasy Silence tells her story of speaking truth to power while living with AIDS, journeying through cancer and surviving a near-death experience. Her steady concern for The Other enables her to find the strength to stand up, speak up and make a difference, inspiring us to do the same.
In this book, Mary Fisher bears witness with humor, courage, compassion and grace, conquering the uneasy silence we all know too well, showing the way to finally be heard and be free.
©2025 Mary Fisher (P)2025 Mary FisherCritic reviews
“Mary Fisher is a woman of extraordinary courage and hope, inspiring generations of Americans from her groundbreaking as a person with AIDS to the 1992 Republication National Convention to her decades of work helping others with AIDS live openly and with dignity.
Mary Fisher has broken the Uneasy Silence that too many people with AIDS have had to bear. Because of Mary’s example, millions of AIDS/HIV patients are living fearlessly with compassion and activism in the face of discrimination and despair. Reading her inspiring words teaches all of us that each of us can make a difference.” —Nancy Pelosi, former Speaker of the House of Representatives
“Mary Fisher has inspired millions of people with the quiet power of her art and her words. In Uneasy Silence, she does it again, bearing eloquent witness to cries for justice and compassion.” —Darren Walker, President, the Ford Foundation
