SUMMARY:Radical Sisters: Shirley Temple Black\, Rose Kushner\, Evelyn Lauder and the Dawn of the Breast Cancer Movement
DESCRIPTION:Join the History Center for this Virtual Program with award winning author Judith Pearson \nThis is a virtual\, Zoom event. Please register in advance and check your emails prior to the event for the latest information on how to join the Zoom! \nRegister Here \nThere was a time when women’s health was severely marginalized.\nThere was a time when breast cancer wasn’t discussed.\nThere was a time when October wasn’t pink. \nBut three women refused to be silenced\, their indomitable spirits igniting a movement for change. \nWhen Shirley Temple Black\, Rose Kushner\, and Evelyn Lauder were diagnosed with breast cancer\, myths\, outdated protocols and lack of awareness of their disease were rampant. Worst of all was the paltry amount of research dollars devoted to the epidemic that was killing tens of thousands each year. Meticulously researched\, Radical Sisters is a rich narrative that transports readers through three decades of a changing social landscape in America. Taking cues from the women’s health movement and the AIDS movement\, these trail‑blazing advocates did for themselves what the mainstream healthcare system refused to do. \nWith a foreword by Nancy Brinker\, founder of Susan G. Komen\, and timed for the 2025 National Breast Cancer Awareness Month\, this book acts as a mirror\, allowing readers to see reflections of themselves\, and their own experiences and struggles. It is a powerful and emotional take on the evolution of the women’s health movement (and their participation in medicine) and the breast cancer revolution. \nRadical Sisters is a groundbreaking exploration into an untold story of resilience and the fight for women’s rights. Because of Shirley\, Rose and Evelyn\, breast cancer is no longer a saga of struggling alone in the dark against a mysterious and deadly disease. The more than 300\,000 diagnosed every year stand on the shoulders of these courageous women\, today empowered to strive for their own health and that of future generations.
