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.
