The Politics of Implants for Breast Cancer Survivors

The Politics of Implants for Breast Cancer Survivors Abstract This article addressed the growing concerns of women surviving breast cancer who choose to be reconstructed through implantation of a silicone device. The political nature of the implanted survivor's personal choice has been presented from a feminist perspective, correlating U.S. culture's policy of women's wholeness as a physical phenomenon with profitably-invested, male-dominated groups in control. Implications for feminist counsel and action were assessed in conclusion. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Women & Therapy Taylor & Francis
