Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

"Samantha King explains how, beyond being an all-too-frequent and still-too-lethal disease for many women, breast cancer is a corporate dream come true." -Herizons "Fascinating. King's deft and thoughtful interpretation of the pink ribbon phenomenon is an important wake-up call. Going against the grain, she takes a clear-eyed look at a trend that often seems to outshine the disease that put it on the map." -Women's Review of Books  "King's criticisms of breast-cancer philanthropy provide a new means of looking at one of our culture's most celebrated causes.  For anyone who has ever squirreled away yogurt lids for the cause, Pink Ribbons, Inc. is food for thought." -Bitch "A fascinating read for anyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer." -Curve "Breast cancer advocacy is being transformed from meaningful civic participation into purchasing products.
