Author Judith Pearson releases a new book titled ‘Radical Sisters’

More from this show

Author and biographer Judith Pearson has a brand-new book titled ‘Radical Sisters.’ When Shirley Temple Black, Rose Kushner and Evelyn Lauder were diagnosed with breast cancer, myths, outdated protocols, and a lack of awareness of their disease were rampant. Worst of all was the paltry amount of research dollars devoted to the epidemic that was killing tens of thousands each year. Meticulously researched, Radical Sisters is a rich narrative that transports readers through three decades of a changing social landscape in America. Taking cues from the women’s health movement and the AIDS movement, these trail‑blazing advocates did for themselves what the mainstream healthcare system refused to do.

Judith Pearson, Author of Radical Sisters, joined “Arizona Horizon” to talk more about her latest novel.
