Caracteristici
Women are the majority users of health care services - themselves, as carers for children and older relatives - and yet they report being fobbed off, patronised and ignored. Why? What can we do to change this?

Recenzii
Crucial reading for us all
What Sarah has achieved with Rebel Bodies is remarkable. The depth and breadth of the topics she's explored and highlighted through real life accounts is impressive and important
a warm, inclusive (but not chiding) insight into the realities and inequities of healthcare for the estimated 52 per cent of the population who were born female
Rebel bodies is such an important book. It highlights the dismal state of women's healthcare and validates for women that their experiences are not all in their heads.
Never before have I seen such stark, evidence-based research on the intersection between disability and gender. Sarah's work is incredibly important.
Absolutely fantastic
Fascinating, eye opening and maddening in the same breath. It blows the lid off the experience of many, many women's health journeys and leaves you wanting to stand by Sarah's side and fight for an equal system of health.
Exposing the appalling gender bias that underpins our healthcare system, REBEL BODIES is an essential read, full of insight and practical advice to help women to challenge assumptions and advocate for ourselves and others. A rallying cry against inequality, both enraging and hopeful.
An impressive deep dive into the gender bias that exists in our healthcare system and a revelatory and optimistic call to arms for anyone who cares about creating a fairer society
Exposes the disparities in healthcare and gives advice on how to tackle them.
Really good
A provocative manifesto on addressing systemic misogyny in healthcare
