Uses images from art going back to ancient Egypt to trace what was known about breast cancer through the centuries.
Reflections of the breast isn't another cancer book. It is the triumph of the human experience. It is the story of everywoman. It is the incredible insight and brilliance of countless artists who told the story of all those who have suffered from this disease and documented and possibly foretold the development of the therapies that we have today. It tells a story not just in words like other books but uses the images of artists like Michaelangelo, Rubens, Raphael, Eakins and the modern day artist who are also the patients and the survivors.
