My Soul is Among Lions: Pages from the Breast Cancer Archives

My Soul is Among Lions breaks the mold of contemporary breast cancer narratives by taking readers back to a time when the disease went unspoken in public. Through riveting stories of women patients, scientists, and advocates, Leopold reveals how personal and cultural experiences of breast cancer have shifted historically. Engagingly written, the book succeeds in inviting readers to evaluate contemporary breast cancer culture without resorting to simplistic comparisons or easy conclusions between "then" and "now." A vital example of public history, My Soul is Among Lions is an invaluable addition to the breast cancer literature. - Samantha King, author of Pink Ribbons, Inc: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy.
