Rhetorical Investigations of the Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Body in Media: Countering a Wicked Problem

This book examines media and clinical discourses and their impact on women with PCOS. Findings from the study reveal that while women with PCOS have limited agency in constructing and representing their identities and ontologies in traditional media, by networking in participatory new media, these women can reclaim their agency.
