All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us about Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today by Elizabeth Comen

4.0

This goes into a deep dive of the mistreatment, misdiagnosis and misgivings in general of women's medical and mental health treatment through the centuries. 

The author is well informed and gives plenty of references. The only thing I say took a bit of issue with was the fact that when she went into gynecology, she did not really discuss the origin of gynecology, which was a large part due to the mistreatment, and torture of Black bodies. 

That then got me thinking that she didn't really bring up race at all, which I understand is not necessarily her focu in this book, but also I think that race would have created another layer as it does play into all of our experiences as women.
