This book is mostly sad and dark but also contains some optimistic content and speaks of those (of any gender) having advanced the state of things. Avoid if you don't want a depressing read.joensign's review against another edition

The final chapters made me cry and also want to vomit.
Approach with caution - triggers abound.
An excellent, enraging read.

I found the middle of the book most interesting and in particular the legacy of eugenics and birth control.
I would however liked to have seen more on LGBTQ+ women and bodies but I suspect that is entirely its own study. As a sufferer of endometriosis, I am too familiar with the gender bias in medicine and found this to be a must read.
