This book is mostly sad and dark but also contains some optimistic content and speaks of those (of any gender) having advanced the state of things. Avoid if you don't want a depressing read.wordsaremybigobsession's review against another edition

One thing I would‘ve liked to see in the book would be a comparison or simply some information about the medicine of non-western society as this book mainly focuses on USA/UK and partly some other western countries. To keep a red lining I understand that this might be difficult to include though.
Overall a very good read – painful sometimes – seeing that so many aspects of inequality retain to this day. I am positive this book helps a lot of (unwell) women to focus on what doctors are telling them and how historical inequalities may be hidden within those words.
