The final chapters made me cry and also want to vomit.
Approach with caution - triggers abound.
An excellent, enraging read.

I found the middle of the book most interesting and in particular the legacy of eugenics and birth control.
I would however liked to have seen more on LGBTQ+ women and bodies but I suspect that is entirely its own study. As a sufferer of endometriosis, I am too familiar with the gender bias in medicine and found this to be a must read.
