The topic of breast cancer is universal. Nearly everyone is touched by breast cancer in some way. In 2008, the American Cancer Society reported that breast cancer is the most common cancer diagnosis among women and one in eight women in the United States will contract breast cancer during their lifetime. In addition, the writing and telling of breast cancer stories provide a deep, meaningful legacy for future generations.

The primary questions which guide this study are: (1) What are the common themes which emerge from their stories? (2) How has this genre of literature transitioned from the mid-1970s to the present day? (3) What legacies do these memoirs leave for the next generations of women? The goal of this dissertation is to create a scholarly study of women's memoir writing that appeals to a wide audience of readers, from cancer survivors and their families and friends to health care providers and activists, from teachers of women's health to professors of women's studies. This study provides a template for how women generally cope with a life-threatening illness like breast cancer. Through a discussion of common themes, this precis furnishes the reader with a sense of reassurance and guidance for the caregivers and women suffering from this disease.
