Beauty without the Breast

“From the perspective of a patient, Knaul’s book Beauty without the Breast is an intimate and detailed account of her life with breast cancer… From the perspective of a health economist, Knaul wants Beauty without the Breast to encourage people to think about how an individual with a chronic illness moves through a health system… Beauty without the Breast made me aware of, and angry about, the inequities in diagnosis and treatment encountered by many women with breast cancer who live in developing countries.”—Farhat Yaqub, The Lancet
