Description
Vividly showcasing diverse voices and experiences, this book illuminates an all-too-common experience by exploring how women respond to a diagnosis of breast cancer. What emerges from her powerful and often moving account is a compelling picture of how cultural messages about breast cancer shape women’s ideas about their illness, how breast cancer affects their relationships with friends and family, why some of them become activists, and more.
