“To paraphrase the great Maya Angelou: when a woman tells you she is in pain, believe her the first time.”
― Unwell Women: A Journey Through Medicine and Myth in a Man-Made World
― Unwell Women: A Journey Through Medicine and Myth in a Man-Made World
“Women are more likely to be offered minor tranquillisers and antidepressants than analgesic pain medication. Women are less likely to be referred for further diagnostic investigations than men. And women’s pain is much more likely to be seen as having an emotional or psychological cause, rather than a bodily or biological one.”

“Sadly, Truman’s social-reformist vision floundered amidst fierce criticism and suspicion. Fearing that such a socialist move was part of a communist plot, the Republican-controlled Congress rejected his proposal in 1946.”
