Doing Harm: The Truth about How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by Maya Dusenbery

3.0

DNF. I refuse to sit through "feminist" book in which the author argues that we need to torture and kill more female laboratory animals. Aside from the ridiculous association between feminism and promoting the nonconsensual exploitation, violation, and killing of female bodies, the author does not seem to grasp the problems with extrapolating data from studies on nonhuman animals to women. Even extrapolation from rats to mice won't match up much of the time.

If you want a book about this topic, check out Michele Lent Hirsch's "Invisible." It has a very small section near the end that discusses the abuse of female animals but it's not fighting for it like this author did.

It's a shame since this book has some good things to offer. It's just not the best of the best on this topic.
