Much of what we know about women’s bodies and health has come from men. Our “normal” bodily functions—as well as our pain, pleasure, strength, and intellectual capacity—have been based on an overwhelmingly male narrative uninformed by women’s own voices, and often used to shame and subjugate us. Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist and medical historian Elizabeth Comen, M.D., sets out to change this. In this informative, eye-opening book, she unpacks this legacy, taking us on a tour of each of our body’s systems—the endocrine system (hormonal), skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, immune system, nervous system, sexual and reproductive—to (re-)introduce how they work and the historical doctors and patients whose perspectives and experiences laid the foundation for our current understanding, as well as the many oversights which remain unaddressed.
