Featured Book
Doing Harm: The Truth About How Bad Medicine and Lazy Science Leave Women Dismissed, Misdiagnosed, and Sick by Maya Dusenbery
"Editor of the award-winning site Feministing.com, Maya Dusenbery brings together scientific and sociological research, interviews with doctors and researchers, and personal stories from women across the country to provide the first comprehensive, accessible look at how sexism in medicine harms women today."  

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this webinar, you will be able to:

• Understand how sex and gender effect the ability for women to access healthcare
• Understand how diagnoses like hysteria and neurotic behavior lead to delays and misdiagnosis of women in the healthcare system
• Understand how misogyny contributes to the lack of research in pathologies associated with women
