Description:

Having survived breast cancer herself and watched loved ones not, Casamayou explains why funding levels for research into the disease suddenly achieved extensive media coverage as well as both attention and action from Congress and the White House in the period between 1990 and 1993. She focuses on the National Breast Cancer Coalition, a community of women fighting for more research funding and for changes in treatment. c. Book News Inc.
