Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by Maya Dusenbery
informative
slow-paced
This is an interesting and important feminist topic and I recommend this book to everyone!
I appreciated the inclusive language and LGBTQ+ representation. The examples of sexism both amused and horrified me.
However, the book itself was a bit too repetitive and I wish it touched more on women's mental health.
It's hard for me to rate a nonfiction book like this one since I'm not a medical professional (therefore I can't know for certain if every single piece of information in this book is correct) nor do I find nonfiction books to be particularly entertaining so I can't say I've enjoyed this one more than other nonfiction books I've read.
