    The historical mistreatment and misunderstanding of women’s health by the medical system continues to affect women today. As a breast oncologist, Comen uses her own experiences and extensive research to detail how women have been dismissed, pathologized, and ignored, using the eleven organ systems as a framework to reveal how patriarchal beliefs have shaped medical guidance. The book serves as both a historical account and a call to action for women to advocate for themselves in healthcare.
