The issue began to receive extensive media attention, and federal funding for breast cancer research jumped dramatically. Describing the origins of this surge in interest, Maureen Hogan Casamayou attributes it to the emergence of politically potent activism among breast cancer survivors and their supporters. Exploring the creation and development of the National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC), she shows how many of its key leaders were mobilized by their own traumatic experiences with the disease and its treatments. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCasamayou details the NBCC's meteoric rise and impressive lobbying efforts, explaining how-in contrast to grassroots movements founded by dedicated individuals--the coalition grew from the simultaneous efforts of a network of women who invested their time, energy, money, and professional skills in the fight for increased funding for breast cancer research. This multiple leadership--or collective entrepreneurialism, says Casamayou--was crucial to the NBCC's success framing the issue in the minds of the public and policymakers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maureen Hogan Casamayou\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0878408517\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780878408511\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Georgetown University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/26\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.78lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.12w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eWomen's Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2001 pg. 13\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 910\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eUniv PR Books for Public Libry\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2002 pg. 37 - Recommended\/Special Interest","brand":"Maureen Hogan Casamayou","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47427433955583,"sku":"9780878408511","price":21.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9f55f3f8-0f4d-45fe-b043-d100107a4b30.jpg?v=1761579522","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-politics-of-breast-cancer-maureen-hogan-casamayou-9780878408511","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
