Theorizing postfeminist health -- Genetic risk : prophylactic mastectomies and the pursuit of cancer-free life -- Postfeminist risky mothers and postpartum depression -- The postfeminist concession : young women, sex, and paternalism -- Feminist women's health activism in the twenty-first century -- Afterword : from margin to center.
