Pomimo stwierdzenia Mary Deshazer, że życie z rakiem stało się tematem naszych czasów (2005, 1), o niektórych rodzajach nowotworów wciąż się nie mówi publicznie. Niniejszy artykuł omawia autopatografie nowotworów ginekologicznych Susan Gubar i Eve Ensler w kontekście ciszy. Studium dotyczy trudności autorek w znalezieniu terminów na określenie doświadczenia ich choroby oraz braku społecznie akceptowalnego sposobu opisywania chorującego kobiecego ciała. Analiza wykazuje, że cisza konstruowana wokół problemu jest niewskazana i nieefektywna.
