5.0 out of 5 stars
the most important book on breast cancer I've read,
By lisa@dmk.org (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: No Less a Woman: Femininity, Sexuality, and Breast Cancer (Paperback)
Much more than just a collection of different women's individual stories of breast cancer and the decisions they made, this book really helped me understand what it means to confront cancer, make choices, find support, and most importantly, to "get on with it." The author provides insightful, directed discussion of the issues women face, drawing on the examples of women who share their stories. If you read one book, this should be it.
