Opis
'A vital subject that needs to be discussed - KATY HESSEL, AUTHOR OF THE STORY OF ART WITHOUT MEN
'A valuable sociological perspective on women's bodies and health and an even more valuable (and optimistic) view of a better future for all.' - GINA RIPPON
'Asking all the right questions about the treatment of women's bodies and more importantly, answering them. Punchy, fascinating and vital.' - RACHEL PARRIS
'A brilliant book.' - HELEN PANKHURST
The idea that medicine is gender-neutral is a myth. This isn't inflammatory rhetoric; it's simply true. From the way pain is felt, to how heart attacks are diagnosed, to the very role society plays in the health of the body, the medical landscape in place today is one that was designed for, and by, men.
This book is about all the ways medicine is not gender-neutral, from research to treatment to diagnosis. Throughout history, flawed mindsets have paved the way for sub-par treatment, and the prevailing attitudes that still exist today have had terrible repercussions for women and their bodies.
Blending fascinating examples with historical and cultural context, and reflecting on her own personal experience with healthcare, Dr Marieke Bigg explores how women's bodies have been ignored, misunderstood and misdiagnosed, whilst keeping an eye to a better future. This is a sharp and honest must-read, and an empowering tool for anyone committed to making this world safer to navigate for all.
