Why Me? was published under a different title in Sep-<br > tember 1975. The reason for changing the title is so compli-<br > cated that it could--and probably will--fill another book, but<br > it can be summarized by one word: "denial." Women won t<br > be afraid to be seen buying a book called Why Me?; they<br > won t be ashamed to be seen carrying it or reading it on<br > buses or under the dryer in a beauty shop. They won t be<br > embarrassed to have it on their night tables next to Drs.<br > Spoek and Reuben.<br > A book called Why Me? can be a book about anything.<br > One of my earliest discoveries of denial came with the<br > publication of the hardcover edition.

In a bookstore, a salesperson<br >told me that several women had asked her to bag the book<br >and bring it to them at the cash register for payment; they<br >didn t want anyone to spot them buying it. No longitudinal<br >or latitudinal surveys were needed to show that while women<br >are ready to read about vaginal deodorants, soft bowel move-<br >ments, and rape, we aren t ready for a book boldly titled<br >Breast Cancer.<br > So I knew immediately that the first updating revisions<br >that would have to be made would involve the psychoemo-<br >tlonal aspects of this disease.
