Requests:  2 Summary:  For as long as medicine has been a practice, women's bodies have been treated like objects to be examined and ignored, idealized and sexualized, shamed, subjugated, mutilated, and dismissed. The notion that female bodies are flawed inversions of the male ideal lingers on, as do the pervasive societal stigmas and ignorance that shape women's health and relationships with their own bodies. The author draws back the curtain on the collective medical history of women to reintroduce us to our whole bodies: how they work, the actual doctors and patients whose perspectives and experiences laid the foundation for today's medical thought, and the many oversights that remain unaddressed. She examines the eleven organ systems to share unique and untold stories, drawing upon medical texts and journals, interviews with expert physicians, and her own observations from treating thousands of women.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Adult New Books 362.1082 Co in Processing   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1082 Comen Checked out 05/16/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1082 Co Checked out 05/04/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kapaa Public Library Adult New Books 362.1082 Co Checked out 04/29/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kihei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1082 Co Item being held   Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1082 Co Checked out 04/30/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.1082 Co Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
