About
We know the causes of death and disease among women all over the world. Governments and philanthropists have funded plenty of initiatives over recent decades. So why isn't it working?
Across the globe, women's health is being caught in the crossfires of politics: from the repeal of abortion rights and the bombing of Ukrainian maternity hospitals, to the exploitation of vulnerable patients and women health workers. In this powerful and moving exploration, Professor Sophie Harman digs deep into the urgent questions affecting women's health, and offers smart solutions on how to fix this devastating crisis.
'Radical and thought-provoking, this book should drive us all to action - and the author tells us how' Gina Rippon, author of The Gendered Brain
'Illuminating, accessible and important' Dr Rageshri Dhairyawan, author of Unheard: The Medical Practice of Silencing
'A vitally important read' Dr. Annabel Sowemimo
