"In her provocative exploration of the ever-changing terrain of breast cancer groups, Barbara Ley reveals how activism and science interact to shape our beliefs about breast cancer and its causes. This is a book to challenge the beliefs of all its readers, whether they are pink or green, scientist or activist, policy wonk or general reader." - Sharon Batt (author of Patient No More: The Politics of Breast Cancer) "Seeking prevention by reducing toxic exposures, environmental breast cancer advocates promote strategic 'greening,' strategic science, and strategic regulations. Ley tells a riveting story on how links to broader environmental efforts nourish and help sustain multiple health movements." - Adele E. Clarke (University of California San Francisco, co-editor of Biomedicalization) "A probing, honest, eye-opening account of society's mixed messages about breasts and the environment, written by one of the most talented social scientists of her generation. Barbara Ley exposes the flawed, but human faces of scientists, breast cancer activists, and the social and political context that shape their lives."
