Introduction

The history of medicine is full of misconceptions, myths, and bizarre remedies that have been abandoned in the modern age, thanks to scientific research and development.

But myths and blindspots persisted much longer than they should have in the study of women's anatomy and treatment of female patients.

Dr. Elizabeth Comen, M.D., is an esteemed oncologist at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, who specializes in treating patients with breast cancer.

In her 2024 book All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us about Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today, Dr. Comen explains how women's minds and bodies have been studied, treated, and misunderstood throughout history, and how this is reflected in modern medicine.
