Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World by Elinor Cleghorn

informative sad medium-paced

5.0

Unwell Women is an in-depth analysis and historical retelling of sexism in the medical field since the age of ancient Greece, as well as the formulation of certain feminist sub-movements concerning concepts like abortion and birth control. This book also discusses transgender identity and the importance of separating biological determinism from feminism. I think this book is a great introduction to how marginalized groups have been and still are negatively impacted by the medical field.
