A review by schopflin
Unwell Women by Elinor Cleghorn

challenging informative sad slow-paced

4.0

This was a difficult book to read, and I had to lay it aside at one point. There is just so much to get angry about. This is a mainstream rather than academic publication but Cleghorn has a background in academic research, making the book less strident and polemical than some written by journalists. But the repetition of mistreatment, poor diagnosis and assumptions in the treatment of women and AFAB people is depressing. Still highly recommended.
