Pain and Prejudice

it fell flat for me, there were definitely things of merit but i felt like the trans/nb inclusion was a tickbox at best and could have been expanded on. it would've been interesting to see the parallels between how cis women's health has been pushed to the side for centuries, and how this is also happening to gender non conforming people.
i think this book would mean a lot more to you if you have endo, as thats a big focus of the book.
i think this would be better read by picking out the bits you're interested in, rather than cover to cover. i couldn't skim as it was on audio. it was quite repetitive.
The subject matter was interesting but just not for me, this one i think!

The topic of this book is intensely relevant. I did not enjoy this book for its writing or structure- it seems hastily put together & needed a restructure, re-write & research with more depth. Its publication does, however, hopefully signal an opening up of the issue of how we discuss, research, diagnose, & treat women's health. In this sense it attempts to make a critical contribution to the gender equality and public health debate. Ask any woman about the themes in this book and it will resonate with their personal experience or the personal experience of a close female relative/friend.
