This is a riveting, horrifying and at times enraging look at how medicine has failed women throughout history to modern day. Drawing from old case reports and medical textbooks, Cowen illuminates the narratives around women’s bodies, women’s health, women’s needs & desires.

A thorough and very well researched book which brings gender data bias to the forefront of public discourse. Covering public transport, urban design, the dangerous gap in health care and more, this book is a significant call to action, awareness & advocacy to create a more inclusive world for the 50% of women who inhabit the planet.
