All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us about Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today by Elizabeth Comen
1.0
Most of this book is pretty mid. Maybe okay if you've never read anything else on this topic before, but for anyone with any knowledge of medical history, disability justice, or chronic illness spaces, it's nothing new. The author doesn't do any deeper analysis or give much actionable advice, and then there's some surprise transphobia to round it out! Instead I would recommend: Blood: The Science, Medicine, and Mythology of Menstruation by Jen Gunther, Vagina Obscura: An Anatomical Voyage by Rachel E. Gross, and Invisible Women: Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez.
Moderate: Transphobia
