          About this book

          This volume focuses on gynaecological cancer to explore the ways in which gender has shaped medical and public health responses to cancer in England.

          Rooted in gendered perceptions of cancer risk, medical and public health efforts to reduce cancer mortality since 1900 have prominently targeted women’s cancers. Women have also been key participants in the ‘war’ on cancer through their various roles as medical practitioners, midwives, nurses, health visitors, radiotherapists and cytotechnicians.
