Very good and informative book. It was clearly written with reference to much research and the way the information was presented was coherent. I was able to witness throug this book the horrors of medical misogyny and get frustrated over the repeat offences on women’s rights that just kept happening for the same convoluted reasons. Other than that, I wish she put in headers for each new disease though or didn’t jump through years so much. I understand that in most cases it is necessary but it can get quite confusing.
