Proofreading please 317 words, thank you

Hello,

I am new in EnglisForums.com

Could someone be so kind to proofread this extract of my MA paper?

Thank you very much indeed

A feminist approach to the breast cancer experience is not a completely new topic within the academic tribe in the Anglo-American world. However, it is important to highlight three main arguments in defense of my research. First of all, quoting to Wilkinson and Kitzinger (1993, p. 230) it is necessary to stress that “most of the research about breast cancer emphasis on sexuality and body image meaning being attractive to men and engaging in sexual intercourse with them (...) but there is very little discussion of other issues in relation to breast loss- breast feeding, or explaining (or concealing) the lost of a breast to a child, for example”. So, unlike most research within the UK/ USA, this research aims to understand the enormity of dealing with this “particular” kind of cancer, taking into account the ideological features of the breast cancer discourse. Therefore, it aims to explore women´s difficulties, responses and experiences of living with breast cancer. Second, I think interesting to approach the Spanish reality upon the Anglo-American theory. While social and cultural differences must be kept in mind, a cross-cultural perspective would enrich the research question. Is there anything we can learn from the similarities and differences of Spanish and Anglo-American woman?. The results might shed light on relevant information about breast cancer discourses and practices. Third, my approach to breast cancer is quite challenging within the Spanish academia itself for several reasons: the first reason is because Sociological and Anthropological research in gender remains very rare in Spain. Not to mention, feminist approaches. Secondly, because the majority of studies are macrosocial and descriptive, focusing more in quantitative analysis (Valiente 2002, p. 768). Therefore, very few studies have a qualitative approach to gender issues with “sophisticated” qualitative analysis such as: interviews, focus groups or narrative analysis. Finally, the need for such a study arises from the fact that there are not explanatory works that analyze the experiences and subjectivities of Spanish women living with breast cancer.
