There was a time when women’s health was dismissed, breast cancer was hidden, and silence meant suffering. But three extraordinary women — Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner, and Evelyn Lauder — refused to accept that fate.

Radical Sisters is the powerful true story of how these women, united by diagnosis and driven by courage, revolutionized the way we talk about, treat, and research breast cancer. From fighting misinformation to challenging outdated medical practices, they helped launch a movement that continues to save lives today.

Written by award-winning biographer Judith L. Pearson, Radical Sisters is a deeply researched, inspiring portrait of activism, resilience, and lasting impact.

Whether you’re passionate about women’s health, cancer advocacy, or stories of bold leadership, this is a book you won’t want to miss.
