• Resumen

  • El artículo indaga en las principales estrategias feministas para luchar por un cambio social en relación con el cáncer de mama. Arranca con un breve repaso de los factores de riesgo de cáncer de mama en el contexto de las estadísticas europeas sobre su incidencia y mortalidad. La parte central, que se apoya principalmente en mi propia investigación mediante grupos de discusión, demuestra lo común y lo diverso de la experiencia vital del cáncer de mama, dentro de su contexto social y político. El artículo termina con un debate sobre otras formas de activismo feminista que incluyen la lucha por mejores servicios y recursos, la oposición a la invisibilidad de las mujeres con cáncer de mama, así como una crítica política de la �industria� del cáncer de mama.
