520    For as long as medicine has been a practice, women's 
       bodies have been treated like objects to be examined and 
       ignored, idealized and sexualized, shamed, subjugated, 
       mutilated, and dismissed.  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.
