EXTENDED DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 15, 2010

Alarmingly high rates of cancer are affecting women in Canada today, across all social, economic, and geographic boundaries. This cancer epidemic has generated a wealth of feminist and non-feminist discourses that have an impact on the lives of all women, not only survivors. Given the scale of the problem, we believe that a critical engagement with these discourses, as well as an examination of the material realities of cancer, are both timely and necessary. CWS/cf's Winter/Spring 2010 issue (Vol. 28, Nos. 2,3) will provide a space for a more complex and nuanced feminist analysis and critique of the lived experiences and discursive constructions of cancer, drawing on its social, political, cultural, ecological, and personal dimensions. We encourage both academic and creative submissions, especially from people whose lives have been changed by cancer
