The notion that female bodies are flawed inversions of the male ideal lingers on, as do the pervasive societal stigmas and ignorance that shape women's health and relationships with their own bodies. The author draws back the curtain on the collective medical history of women to reintroduce us to our whole bodies: how they work, the actual doctors and patients whose perspectives and experiences laid the foundation for today's medical thought, and the many oversights that remain unaddressed. She examines the eleven organ systems to share unique and untold stories, drawing upon medical texts and journals, interviews with expert physicians, and her own observations from treating thousands of women. 650 0 $a Women's health services $x History. 650 0 $a Women $x History. $x History. 650 0 $a Women $x Sociological aspects. $x Sociological aspects. 650 0 $a Sexism in medicine. 941 $a 9 952 $l WWPC305 $d 20240619014126.0 952 $l DPPE403 $d 20240611014645.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20240606010638.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20240504010031.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20240417024010.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20240409012714.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20240402010451.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20240305011726.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240302012144.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CF9A5B0D86411EE9510A68C40ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
