Description

If not for the reproductive function of women, would there be anything called women's health care? A review of medical literature, practice, and policy in this country would suggest that the answer is no. Offering a startling view of the current state of health care for women in the United States and laying the foundation for a new, widely defined women's medicine, Man-Made Medicine makes an urgent statement about gender bias in the medical establishment and its pernicious effects on the well-being of women and the care they receive.

First Sentence

Glance at any collection of national health data for the United States-whether pertaining to health, disease, or the health care system-and several features stand out.
