This was a tough year to read this book, but it was so important to read it!

4 stars

This was a well written and informative book that took me almost a full month to listen to because it was so horrifying.

Will you learn a lot about women's bodies and the history of how women have been treated medically? Yes. Will it be enjoyable? That depends. I tend to have anxiety around medical procedures and health issues, so this was a hard read for me. The history of women's healthcare is not a pretty one, and it does leave me a little pessimistic.

What I walked away with? Some horror stories about women being misdiagnosed or even just treated, a funny story about a man and guinea pig testicles, and a strong resolve to always advocate for myself when it comes to my body.

Deep dive into the professional medical world’s treatment of women throughout history. Some things I knew, some things that were painful.

Entertaining and informative read! 

It's clear we have a long way to go in the field of women's health - and this book is a great reminder if where we've been, what we need to do, and why it's important to keep fighting.
