omg yes!! that’s my top podcast of recent years, it is such a gripping narrative on an individual story but also sheds light on the systemic issues, beautifully done. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!!

my absolute fav book on this subject is Unwell Woman by Elinor Cleghorn, it’s a big book but it’s utterly fascinating ( & infuriating). It goes through the history of western medicine and talks about how racism and misogyny have been woven into medical practice from day 1, and women, particularly women of colour, are still paying the price.
Ooh, seems like an interesting book - I've added it to my Goodreads! Have you read "Invisible Women" by Caroline Criado Pérez? It enraged me to the core and it was the first time I ever read about the misogyny in the medical community. The book gives a very detailed, well-rounded and well-supported argument regarding the inherent disadvantage women face in a world designed by men and for men. Thanks for the book recommendation!
This actually really inspired me to try and share more podcast recommendations, there must be so much great content that I don’t see in my part of the internet 😂 I’ve started a note to try and share some recommendations. If you have any that you’ve loved I’d love to hear them!
