Abstract

This DVD tells the story of six vibrant women, each intent on making a contribution through their careers. The women work at different jobs, but are alike in one important way: they are balancing the demands of a breast cancer illness and work. It explores the challenges women face in the workplace as they journey through treatment to recovery.
