Invisible: How Young Women with Serious Health Issues Navigate Work, Relationships, and the Pressure to Seem Just Fine

Michele Lent Hirsch

5.0

Equal parts informative, evocative, and infuriating, this book puts women's stories of serious health issues into the context of culture, research, and healthcare. It offers a peek into the lives of young women whose lives have been threatened and articulates the nuances of varied experiences, including those complicated by other marginalized identities. As an advocate for women's health and a woman with chronic conditions, I highly recommend this for anyone ready to learn about these issues or needing to feel seen in the midst of them.
