Description:Few diseases have made more difference to our understanding of illness, the relation of the patient to the physician and other health care professionals, and the social context of disease than breast cancer.

In many ways it has become emblematic of issues in womens health. This volume offers a discursive analysis of breast cancer. From multiple perspectiveshistorical, philosophical, psychological, socio-politicalthese essays explore the competing narratives that have made breast cancer a contested site. It addresses debates about the autonomy of the patient in relation to the authority of the physician, as well as the importance of patient narratives in understanding disease. It analyzes the relation between the community and medical practice, particularly with regard to the effect of breast cancer activists and feminists on the medical understanding and treatment of breast cancer.
