British journalist Sarah Graham explores how long-standing myths and biases in the medical field put women's mental and physical health at risk.

Gender-based discrimination permeates all aspects of daily life — it is present in educational systems, workplaces, politics, and the private realm.

When discrimination occurs in healthcare, it is a matter of life and death.

While women's political and educational rights have become increasingly recognized in recent decades, women are still regularly silenced, dismissed, and patronized in the medical field.

Sarah Graham is an award-winning health journalist known for her blog, Hysterical Women, and for starting the viral hashtag #ShitMyDoctorSays.

In her 2023 book, Rebel Bodies, Graham explains how the gender health gap affects the mental, physical, and reproductive health of women and people assigned female at birth.
