These books have been on my shelf for 6 and 4 years.
This is what motivated my 1:1 fiction:non-fiction challenge this year.
Time to move off the TBR shelf!

Overall I liked the book but there were long parts that went deep into the author‘s childhood abuse/neglect at the hands of her mother, maternal grandmother, and bystander father and into the history of the author‘s mother‘s childhood abuse. I understand that malnourishment as a child/adolescent has profound impact on one‘s adult health but I was not expecting that much focus on her abuse in a book I thought was about healthcare and women.
I like this book. It teach me a lot about endometriosis that I have been interested. It seems that is taboo topic despite the fact that so many women are affected by this disease. Is half biography and half her findings in the topic. I think every woman should read this book to understand her body.

“Sure, we hadn‘t figured out how to consistently diagnose, let alone adequately treat, a debilitating condition that had affected millions of women all over the world for centuries—but we finally weighed a dwarf star.”
....talking about endometriosis
Well, when you put it that way! 🤦♀️
