Description

Laurence and Weinhouse shine a penetrating light on the medical establishment and discover pervasive neglect, rampant gender bias, and systematized discrimination in women's health care -- an issue that has galvanized women in the nineties. They investigate the shocking anti-woman bias at medical schools and research facilities, and takes to task physicians' offices, where female patients are treated differently from their male counterparts. They eloquently demonstrate that sexist medicine is bad science -- and the demand for nonsexist treatment is nothing less than the demand for equitable treatment in research, education, and patient care.
