One was the novelist Fanny Burney, whose mastectomy was performed by Napoleon's best surgeon; the Bloomsbury artist Vanessa Bell was another. In these two cases their creative fire was not foiled: they both went on to do more admirable work. The feminist theme of restrictions on women's use of their talents is another major theme in the book. The author argues that there is a connection between foiled creative expression and poor health outcomes and advocates strongly for a holistic approach to breast cancer treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book will be of interest to members of the general public who have experienced cancer, together with their doctors and nurses, and academics working in the field of cancer and the mind.
