Miriam's doctor didn't believe she had breast cancer. She did. Sophie navigates being the only Black scientist in her lab while studying the very disease, HIV, that she hides from her coworkers. For Victoria, coming out as a transgender woman was less difficult than coming out as bipolar. Michele Lent Hirsch knew she couldn't be the only woman who's faced serious health issues at a young age, as well as the resulting effects on her career, her relationships, and her sense of self. What she found was a surprisingly large population with important stories to tell.

Final Section Worth The Listen
Revisado: 04-13-18
Any additional comments?
This book is split into three areas relating to women with chronic illness - relationships, workplace, and doctors. The first two sections, in my opinion, were just a long series of very similar personal testimonies. While that can be interesting, I don't feel like I learned anything new. What's that you say? Men are trash and mistreat women when they're struggling? SHOCKING. The third section however, was more of a deep dive into the mistreatment of women by doctors and its systemic routes with documented examples, as well as personal testimonies. If all three sections had been like the third, I would have loved this book. Regardless, it's definitely a comfort to anyone reading who suffers from any kind of chronic illness and worth the read if that's what you're looking for.
