⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A must read for all women; for all humans. Why would you not strive to learn more about our species? I didn‘t expect to laugh out loud so much. Not in a funny haha way, but at the preposterousness of the things people believed, and continue to not understand, about women and their bodies. Stop telling us our “issues” are psychosomatic simply because you don‘t know, nor care to find out, the answer!! Such a good read.

I guarantee most women have been dissatisfied when visiting the doctor at least once. This book is an in-depth look at the history of medicine for females and is nothing short of eye-opening. As women, ailments are often written off as being hormone-related or “normal”, when it‘s not “normal” to feel uncomfortable, in pain, sick or worse. Women should read it. Men should read it. And the patriarchy should read it. Full stop.

Comen, a breast cancer specialist, tells the history of women‘s treatment in medicine and how the study of our different needs was often overlooked and breakthroughs were often in short supply. She takes a body system approach working through integumentary, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and more. The audio is fantastic!
