Description: "Assesses the state of women{u2019}s healthcare today by analyzing popular media representations{u2014}television, print newspapers, websites, advertisements, blogs, and memoirs{u2014}in order to understand the ways in which breast cancer, postpartum depression, and cervical cancer are discussed in American public life. Tasha N. Dubriwny{u2019}s analysis concludes with a call to re-politicize women{u2019}s health through narratives that can help us imagine women, and their relationship to medicine, differently" -- publisher info.
