Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women's Pain by Abby Norman

4.0

Part memoir and part an exploration of women's healthcare. Abby Norman delves into her own personal experiences with pain, mysterious symptoms and her quest to find answers. Abby had to drop out of college due to intense pain that she then spent years attempting to get diagnosed. She was brushed off and told she had a UTI or that it was all in her head and eventually landed on endometriosis.

This is an important read to help understand the lack of parity in healthcare. It provides a good understanding of the history of women's healthcare including the sad standard diagnosis of "she's hysterical" or "it's all in her head".
