A history of medical misogyny and how women have been disadvantaged and prejudiced against by medicine over the centuries. Paperback edition.
 
Subtitled A Journey Through Medicine and Myth in a Man-Made World, this book traces the history of medical misogyny, beginning with a survey of the troubling ways in which women and their bodies were characterised by ancient and medieval writers and authorities. Moving into the modern world, the author also examines how medical systems and professionals have profoundly failed women, and continue to do so today. Unwell Women is a vitally important read, challenging the notion that modern medicine is somehow an impartial or objective science, free of biases and prejudices.
