All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us about Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today by Elizabeth Comen
informative
reflective
sad
medium-paced
1.5
The stories were hyperbolic. Like- very much historical fiction vibe. I know parts of it are true but Elizabeth definitely gets narrative about the situation and experiences in a way that seem very embellished.
