Very informative! Would highly recommend this to anyone who wants a (very) detailed description of how the medical industry treats women. I would have liked some more information about the specific barriers that trans people face, as well as women of color. People of color where mentioned sometimes when it came to the way they were treated, but it was still mainly focused on white people... Kinda like the medical industry.
The book was also a little bit too long, I was enjoying reading it for most of the book, but the last 100 or so pages really felt like a bit too much. I get that there is obviously a lot of information to go through but still... At bit much.
Anyway, would still highly recommend this despite all of that! Just know it's quite long, so if you're not a fan of informative non fiction books, this probably isn't a good choice for you.
