Book Synopsis
Breast cancer is, for some, a personal struggle; for others, it is a disease posing scientific and environmental challenges; and for others it is a highly charged and politicized issue around which policy wars rage. This book recognises the overlapping relationship of all these realities.

Trade Review
Beyond Slash, Burn and Poison makes a great contribution to the emerging literature on the breast cancer movement. The facts and framework of this book powerfully demonstrate the ability of women's words to transform society, and point the way to a future in which breast cancer policy reflects the experiences of all women-and men-affected by the disease. -- Barbara Brenner * Executive Director of Breast Cancer Action *
Beyond Slash, Burn and Poison frames a number of crucial perspectives on breast cancer in relation to femininity, privilege, sexuality, race, and the environment. -- Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick * author of Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity *
This is an extremely useful and readable history of breast cancer writing framed within a larger feminist history.Diane Price Herndl, Iowa State University -- Diane Price Herndl * Iowa State University *
