All in Her Head The Truth and Lies Early
Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why
It Matters Today Hardcover â February 13, 2024
USA Today BestsellerA surprising, groundbreaking,
and fiercely entertaining medical history that
is both a collective narrative of womenâs
bodies and a call to action for a new
conversation around womenâs health.For as long
as medicine has been a practice, women's bodies
have been treated like objects to be practiced
on examined and ignored, idealized and
sexualized, shamed, subjugated, mutilated, and
dismissed. The history of womenâs healthcare is
a story in which women themselves have too often
been voicelessâa narrative instead written from
the perspective of men who styled themselves as
authorities on the female of the species, yet
uninformed by womenâs own voices, thoughts,
fears, pain and experiences. The result is a
cultural and societal legÂacy that continues to
shape the (mis)treatment and care of women.While
the modern age has seen significant advancements
in the medical field, the notion that female
bodies are flawed inversions of the male ideal
lingers onâas do the pervasive societal stigmas
and lingering ignorance that shape womenâs
health and relationships with their own
bodies.Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist and
medical historian Dr. Elizabeth Comen draws back
the curtain on the collective medical history of
women to reintroduce us to our whole bodiesâhow
they work, the actual doctors and patients whose
perspectives and experiences laid the foundation
for todayâs medical thought, and the many
oversights that still remain unaddressed. With a
physicianâs knowledge and empathy, Dr. ComenÂ
follows the road map of the eleven organ systemsÂ
to share unique and untold stories, drawing upon
medical texts and journals, interviews with
expert physicians, as well as her own Â
experience treating thousands of women.Empowering
women to better understand ourselves and advocate
for care that prioritizes healthy and joyful
livesâ for us and generations to comeâAll in
Her Head is written with humor, wisdom, and deep
scientific and
3
cultural insight. Eye-opening, sometimes
enraging, yet always captivating, this shared
memoir of womenâs medical history is an
essential contribution to a holistic
understanding and much- needed reclaiming of
womenâs history and bodies.
