She embodied the spirit of Audre Lorde, who believed that 'when I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less important whether or not I am afraid.' Barbara Brenner reminded us that sometimes it takes ruffling a few feathers to dislodge complacency.\"—Gayle A. Sulik, PhD, author of \u003ci\u003ePink Ribbon Blues\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Barbara was the person who most influenced my own thinking and writing about breast cancer. Only now is the rest of the world catching up to where she was over a decade ago on critical issues: the limitations and harms of screening, the problem with pinkwashing, the conundrum of DCIS, the dearth of funds for metastatic disease, the need to merge breast cancer activism and environmentalism, the need to better track research. I owe so much to Barbara as a writer, as a thinker, as an activist, as someone living with breast cancer, and as a woman.\"—Peggy Orenstein, author of \u003ci\u003eCinderella Ate My Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A visionary like Barbara Brenner comes along so rarely, and when such a person has left a wealth of insightful commentary filled with brilliant analyses and trenchant wit, we are doubly fortunate. Social justice activists, breast cancer and consumer advocates, academics, feminists, and anyone else interested in how breast cancer intersects with other key environmental and women's health concerns will find this edited collection of Barbara's writings a treasure trove of tools and ideas for making this world a better place for all.\"—Judy Norsigian, cofounder, Our Bodies Ourselves\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Barbara transformed how health scholars and advocates think and act politically. Her pointed and often comical reflections on pink ribbon culture and her experience of living with ALS challenged her readers to ask difficult questions about well-intentioned generosity and compassion, both individual and corporate. A thinker and a doer, Barbara inspired us to move beyond passive skepticism and toward action to challenge the status quo of health funding, research, and care.\"—Samantha King, author of \u003ci\u003ePink Ribbons, Inc.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Readers will learn to prize the activist as well as the woman behind the message.\"—\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Brenner is simultaneously heartfelt and acerbic, which makes this collection both engrossing and darkly humorous.\"—American Library Association’s GLBTRT Blog\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Why should you read this book? Because this is not another pity-party book written by someone with a life-threatening illness.
