[Sundstrom] carefully weaves each woman’s story in these contexts in a readable and captivating manner...Her attention to detail brings the women that participated in her research project to life for the reader.... Each woman’s story is written thoughtfully and deftly while highlighting their individual encounters.... This volume is appropriate to accompany a Health Communication, Gender Communication, or Risk Communication course. The book would be best suited to a graduate course in any of these areas of communication inquiry. Sundstrom has completed a well-written and interesting volume addressing areas not often examined. This reviewer recommends the book highly.
