(Archive) 129. Unwell Women: The Misogyny of the Medical System with Elinor Cleghorn

Elinor Cleghorn is the author of “Unwell Women,” and, honestly, this book is going to blow everyone's minds. The medical system has been doing women dirty right in front of our faces and we’ve never given it the attention it deserves. We’ve all accepted this medical misogyny as normal. Elinor shows us that it doesn’t have to be this way and shines a light on the history of why it has gone the way it has.

•
