- Synopsis
- In this study, DeShazer surveys a wide range of contemporary women's writing about breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer. Coverage spans plays, poetry, fiction, and autobiography from authors such as Audre Lorde, Terry Tempest Williams, and Jeanette Winterson. DeShazer (who teaches women's studies and English literature at Wake Forest U. ) utilizes a variety of theoretical perspectives. These include postmodern theories of the body, performance theory, feminist literary criticism, French feminisms, and disability studies.
