Title

The Clan of One-Breasted Women

Description

In this excerpt, Terry Tempest Williams reflects on her family's long-running history of developing cancer that traces from nuclear testing in Nevada. Williams emphasizes her experience of coming to terms with deviating from Mormon norms if it means advocating for the U.S. government to take responsibility for liabilities regarding human health. Williams decides blind obediance will not get her anywhere, and she needs to start asking questions.
