Description
All in Her Head: A Groundbreaking Medical History The history of women's healthcare is a story of objectification and marginalization. For centuries, women's bodies have been treated like objects to be practiced on, with women themselves often being voiceless. This surprising and groundbreaking medical history reveals the shocking truth about how women's bodies have been treated in the past, and why it matters today. Through extensive research and compelling storytelling, Dr. Elizabeth Comen sheds light on the cultural and societal legacy that continues to shape the (mis)treatment and care of women. By combining essential medical histories with narrative propulsion, Comen has written a book that will upend everything you thought you knew about your body, while empowering you to make better decisions moving forward.
