Table of Contents for Bearing Witness: Living with Ovarian Cancer, edited by Kathryn Carter and Laurie Elit

About the Author

Kathryn Carter is acting dean at Laurier Brantford where she has taught English and contemporary studies. Her research on women's diaries led to an edited collection, The Small Details of Life: Twenty Diaries by Women in Canada: 1830-1996 (2002), and recent articles that address the 1830 letter journal of Frances Simpson (in Australian-Canadian Studies), the 1930s diary of Myrtle Gamble Knister (in the Journal of Canadian Studies), and diaries written by schoolgirls in Canada at the end of the nineteenth century (in Canadian Children's Literature).

Reviews

``I have often thought that the reason there is so much breast cancer activism is that there are vast numbers of women who have been diagnosed with cancer-the-killer but who have lived to tell the tale. In contrast, ovarian cancer is silent and deadly, and Carter and Elit have done us a service in bringing these stories to the fore.'' -- Julia A.
