REBEL BODIES - SARAH GRAHAM GEBUNDEN

'Crucial reading for us all' Stylist 'Remarkable  impressive and important' Maisie Hill  author
of Period Power 'Validates for women that their experiences are not all in their heads' Dr
Sarah E. Hill  author of How the Pill Changes Everything An inclusive and empowering manifesto
for change in women's healthcare - exploring the systemic and deep rooted sexism within
medicine  and offering actionable ways for women to advocate for ourselves and others and get
the diagnosis and treatment we need. Have you ever been to a doctor and felt like you were
being fobbed off or ignored? Did they belittle or overlook your concerns about your health?
Ever been told you're just 'hormonal'? You're not alone. Women make up 51 per cent of the
population and are the biggest users of healthcare services - for themselves and as mothers and
carers. But all the research shows there are massive gender differences in men and women's
healthcare. Our pain and suffering has been disbelieved  we are misdiagnosed  given
tranquilisers when we need painkillers  antidepressants when we need HRT  and not trusted to
make informed choices about our own bodies. As women speak out about their experiences of
gaslighting and misdiagnosis  health journalist Sarah Graham investigates what it will take to
bridge the gender health gap. Meet the patients  doctors and campaigners who are standing up
and fighting back  and find practical tips on advocating for your own health. Be inspired by
stories that will incite and offer hope. You're not alone  you're not going mad  and we believe
you.
