Cleavage,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cleavage: Technology, Controversy, and the Ironies of the Man-Made Breast (Paperback)
Fascinating analysis of the history of breast implant technology. Jacobson also constructs complex relationships between medical institutions, capitalism, government bureaucracy, and the individual patient. Worth reading if only for the information about the history of plastic and reconstructive surgery. At times, Jacobson's analysis is a bit superficial -- I often wished she would stray from the sociological and get into some theoretical discussions of what this story she's telling *means*.
