by Julia A. Ericksen (Author)
Exploring how women respond to a diagnosis of breast cancer, this book includes the experiences of women who do not put their faith in traditional medicine as well as those who do. It presents a picture of how cultural messages about breast cancer shape women's ideas about their illness, why some of them become activists, and more.
