Women of Class:

It is said that one in every eight women will be eventually be diagnosed with breast cancer. That’s not such a frightening statistic—that is, until that eighth woman is someone you know or love. Maybe you are that eighth woman. In Woman of Class, you will meet thirty women who each fought her own battle for survival with hope, humor, and courage. In spite of their diagnosis, these women did all the normal things that any woman might do. They raised children, worked jobs, juggled responsibilities, and did their best under impossible circumstances. On top of it all, they fought to rise above the disease that threatened everything. They also worried that someone they loved—their mother, their sister, their daughter, their friend—would be the next one to hear the news that changed their lives. You are invited into the intimate, funny, heartbreaking, inspirational, humiliating, terrifying, empowering, and ultimately human stories of thirty women who have generously shared their experiences. This book includes many outside quotes. You, your friends, neighbors, or relatives may be included.
