Unwell Women: A Journey Through Medicine and Myth in a Man-Made World by Elinor Cleghorn

emotional informative reflective slow-paced

4.0

A very thorough look at the history of medicine through the lens of unwell women. It slipped into a bit too much of a chronological account of medicine through time which lost me for a while, but I really enjoyed the author’s memoir moments throughout about her experience with Lupus, and related to the experience of doctors dismissing serious pain symptoms. A worthwhile read!
