Speaking of female authors, Yonuh, I tried to send you this link on your WP blog, but I couldn't get it to go through.

It's an article from an oncology journal which references -- 25+ years later -- the book "First You Cry," by Betty Rollins.

I remember reading that book in the 70s and it has stuck with me ever since. But it's not a candidate for our best fiction discussion as it is a memoir.

Here's the link. The article dates from 2001, by the way.
