“Man-Made Medicine’s insightful essays about women’s medical mistreatment turn upside down that tired notion that biology is destiny: it is rather, as one of the essayists puts it, society’s sexist conception of femininity that ‘gets into the body and transforms our biology.’ This is an important book that health policymakers should be reading, and following.”-Susan Faludi “This unique anthology fills a void in the literature of public health policy. It provides a prism for understanding how women’s well being is affected by hidden assumptions about color, class, and culture. Destined to become a classic, it is an indispensable guide in distinguishing science from pseudo-science, myth and mirage from medical fact.”-Patricia Williams, Professor of Law, Columbia University
