<br/><br/> The Vulnerable Empowered Woman assesses the state of women's healthcare today by analyzing popular media representations-television, print newspapers, websites, advertisements, blogs, and memoirs-in order to understand the ways in which breast cancer, postpartum depression, and cervical cancer are discussed in American public life. Tasha N. Dubriwny's analysis concludes with a call to re-politicize women's health through narratives that can help us imagine women, and their relationship to medi.
