| Abstract |
"Lisa Beth Robinson relates the ordeal of her mother's breast cancer, which occurred in 1973 when Lisa Beth was five and her brother, Draco, was three-and-a-half. 'A hard dose of radiation combined with a mastectomy and the removal of local lymph nodes' was the 'cure' then. Watching her mother ('until I was a teenager I never saw a woman with two breasts') has had a strong influence on Robinson's sense of her own body."--Vamp & Tramp Bookseller's website, June 24, 2016. |
