Descripci�n Hardcover. Condici�n: new. Hardcover. Explore real womens tales of healthcare trauma and medical misogyny with this meticulously researched, in-depth examination of the womens health crisis in Americaand what we can do about it.When Anushay Hossain became pregnant in the US, she was so relieved. Growing up in Bangladesh in the 1980s, where the concept of womens healthcare hardly existed, she understood how lucky she was to access the best in the world. But she couldnt have been more wrong. Things started to go awry from the minute she stepped in the hospital, and after thirty hours of labor (two of which she spent pushing), Hossains epidural slipped. Her pain was so severe that she ran a fever of 104 degrees, and as she shook and trembled uncontrollably, the doctors finally performed an emergency C-section. Giving birth in the richest country on earth, Hossain never imagined she could die in labor. But she almost did. The experience put her on a journey to explore, understand, and share how womenespecially women of colorare dismissed to death by systemic sexism in American healthcare. Following in the footsteps of feminist manifestos such as The Feminine Mystique and Rage Becomes Her, The Pain Gap is an eye-opening and stirring call to arms that encourages women to flip their hysteria complex on its head and use it to revolutionize womens healthcare. This book tells the story of Hossains experiencesfrom growing up in South Asia surrounded by staggering maternal mortality rates to lobbying for global health legislation on Capitol Hill to nearly becoming a statistic herself. Along the way, she realized that a little fury might be just what the doctor ordered. Meticulously researched and deeply reported, this book explores real womens traumatic experiences with Americas healthcare systemand empowers everyone to use their experiences to bring about the healthcare revolution women need. Explore real womens tales of healthcare trauma and medical misogyny with this meticulously researched, in-depth examination of the womens health crisis in Americaand what we can do about it.
