Living With Cancer: The Scar Project by Susan Gubar (link to article)
This article is a pictorial series called “The Scar Project.” In the series, there are eight women shown who contain scars on their bodies from mastectomies. The author of the article writes how each individual felt after getting a mastectomy. After reading this article, I felt that each of these women were both strong and powerful, because after getting these scars, they didn’t let anyone bring them down. They didn’t let these scars make them feel unworthy, instead they used these scars as a way to gain strength and take on more challenges that life will throw at them.
