From Hysteria to Hormones: Uncovering the Untold Story of Women's Health
![Jese Leos](https://aroadtome.com/author/edgar-allan-poe.jpg)
For centuries, women's health has been shrouded in mystery and misconception. From the ancient Greek belief that women were possessed by a wandering womb to the Victorian era's diagnosis of "hysteria" for any woman who dared to express her emotions, the medical establishment has long dismissed women's health concerns as trivial or imaginary.

In From Hysteria to Hormones, Dr. Sarah Ostrow challenges these long-held beliefs and reveals the hidden biases and prejudices that have shaped medical research and treatment. Drawing on cutting-edge research and historical documents, Ostrow traces the evolution of women's health from ancient times to the present day, exposing the systemic misogyny that has prevented women from receiving the same quality of care as men.
This groundbreaking book tells the story of the women who fought for their own health, from the suffragettes who demanded the right to birth control to the activists who challenged the medicalization of menstruation. Ostrow also shines a light on the unsung heroines of women's health, including the female doctors and scientists who made groundbreaking discoveries but were often denied credit for their work.
From Hysteria to Hormones is an essential read for anyone who wants to understand the history of women's health and the ongoing fight for gender equality in medicine. It is a powerful and inspiring book that will change the way you think about women's bodies and the importance of women's health.
