This series consists primarily of drafts and background materials for Stoller's 1998 book Lessons From the Damned. These files are arranged by chapter and/or subject and were kept separately from the other subject files by Stoller. Also in this series are other writings by Stoller, and materials concerning Women Resisting AIDS: Feminist Strategies of Empowerment, eds. Schneider & Stoller, Temple University Press, 1995. The Lessons From the Damned material is arranged by chapter &/or topic and material on each chapter includes drafts of the chapter along with assorted articles, clippings, and other research materials that Stoller had pulled together as reference for that chapter. Some of these materials may also be found elsewhere in the collection, primarily in the subject or organizational files. The first folder contains correspondence concerning the book. The final few folders contain miscellaneous examples of Stoller's other written work and files concerning the reviewing of books and presentations by Stoller.

Of special interest are interviews with Vito Russo (the pages of this interview were not in order, apparently on purpose) and Larry Kramer. The "Syringe Exchange (1987-1995)" folder is also of note since it contains material of both national and international scope.
