      Part III of my book comprises 5 concluding essays. Chapter 11, The Modern Patient's Burden considers how hard it is for people with cancer to find helpful information--to discern fraud and hype from #cancer facts. #FromWhispersToShouts https://t.co/fsEx2wz9fo #nonfiction #ethics https://t.co/hesmuvb1Jt

      "Our Bodies, Ourselves" is a terrific early example of peer-to-peer health information. This publication gets mention in Ch. 6 of my book, "Our Bodies, Our Decisions," on the origins of cancer patient activism. #FromWhispersToShouts #WomensStudies #health https://t.co/fsEx2wz9fo https://t.co/mO3aXga6eu

      I elected to begin #FromWhispersToShouts with a party scene because the story bears on current debates regarding #pinkwashing and tone of cancer philanthropy, and because contemporary #journalists in 1883 were snarky about it. https://t.co/fsEx2wz9fo https://t.co/YjaaNNwlIp
