Unwell women : a journey through medicine and myth in a man-made world / Elinor Cleghorn.

"In this groundbreaking history Elinor Cleghorn unpacks the roots of the perpetual misunderstanding, mystification and misdiagnosis or women's illness and pain. From the 'wandering womb' of ancient Greece to today's shifting understanding of hormones, menstruation and menopause, Unwell Women is the revolutionary story of women who have suffered, challenged and rewritten medical misogyny."--From publisher.
