"Explore real women's tales of healthcare trauma and medical misogyny with this meticulously researched, in-depth examination of the women's health crisis in America-and what we can do about it"-- Provided by publisher.

Growing up in Bangladesh in the 1980s, the concept of women's healthcare hardly existed. Hossain was relieved to deliver her baby in the US. But things started to go awry from the minute she stepped in the hospital, and after thirty hours of labor Hossain ran a fever of 104 degrees, she shook and trembled uncontrollably, and the doctors finally performed an emergency C-section. Her experience put her on a journey to explore, understand, and share how women-- especially women of color-- are dismissed to death by systemic sexism in American healthcare. The result is an eye-opening call to revolutionize women's healthcare. -- adapted from jacket
