Omschrijving
Throughout their lives, women are taught that it is normal to live in pain. In this urgent investigation into medical misogyny, Evelyn Scott fiercely refutes that myth.
Evelyn was just a teenager when she first began suffering with the symptoms of endometriosis – a reproductive condition that affects one in ten women. For fifteen years, she endured constant, agonising pain. Where she was desperate for clarity and support from medical practitioners, she was instead met with cold dismissals of hysteria and irresponsible misdiagnoses. Her pain left her completely isolated – until sharing her story revealed to her that countless other women were suffering the same fate.
A Bloody Scandal is a personal and shocking account of this gynaecological neglect. Weaving her own experience with those from women all across the globe, Evelyn examines the medical, political and educational failures that are causing preventable harm to women with reproductive conditions everywhere. Unflinchingly honest, this book is both a forceful reckoning with broken systems around the world and an urgent call for empathy-led care. Above all, it is a bold, compassionate show of solidarity with the women whose bodies are still being failed today.
