I loved this book so much that I recommended it to any and everyone who would listen—even before I had finished it. The boom is narrow in scope, in that it only address the medical misogyny is the American medical system, and it does have a very basic intersectional approach to its history; however, it still does addresses the interconnectedness of race, disability, and gender on a broad scale. This book was very informative and very validating to learn about the deeply entrenched patriarchal origins of American medicine. It gave context for the experiences that myself and so many other women have had trying to access medical care throughout our lives. Truly, I cannot recommend this enough as an accessible starting point into the gender disparity in the medical system.
