Recs if you like Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World...

Because apparently women’s bodies are still elective in Science 101! Non-Fiction all about women's (all variations) health and the lack of research behind it.

Book titles that represent reasons you might go to the doctor, what you might say to each other, or what treatments might be offered to cure your ailments. It's up to you to decide what is what😉

(This is not a commentary on these books or authors! The focus of this list is purely on the titles---but if you find a favorite new read here, I'd love to know🤭)

A collection of mostly Non-Fiction books about disability and why it sucks to be disabled in the system. Note: Not all books are about disability, I put a few on this list because I think they would fit in with the idea of the list pretty well 2nd note: I haven't read all books yet Last note: I explained in a comment why I added some books

A variety of books on female health, including educational books on the menstrual cycle, fertility, sex, pregnancy, and menopause. Where some books go deeper into endometriosis, PCOS and/or adenomyosis. As well as books covering the misogyny and discrimination within women’s healthcare currently and throughout history. The righteous feministic anger we feel towards the mistreatment, lack of research, and utter disrespect we face as women in medicine. Also cookbooks for those interested.

Books about sexual & reproductive justice + health. Including abortion, contraception, pregnancy, childbirth, kink, sexuality, STIs, and more. The term reproductive justice is from SisterSong and is inherently an intersectional, political, and affirming framework. BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, disabled perspectives highlighted.

Beautiful books for when your monthly reading roundup needs a little facelift 😉

these are books that i think are imperative for a compassionate, empathetic, understanding, proactive healthcare workforce cause they won’t teach you this in school. please suggest more you think should be here!!

This reading guide aims to be a beginner to advanced composition of books within the genre of women/gender (+ LGBTQ -/ basically anything that doesn’t center the experiences of cis-men).

Expect to find titles including but not limited to the scopes of mental health, wellness/psych, disability, & illness in the Global South too!

Don't let the poor zombies starve, feed your brain, make it plump and ripe with knowledge and critical thinking skills. It might also be useful if the zombies never come, who knows. You better be ready.

Books about feminine power and rage. Inspiring, enraging, validating. Let us rise, my sisters.

A collection of non fiction books from women in science or any other field of knowledge! I'm so tired of having to listen to men that I am making it my mission to read as many non-fiction books from women I can.

These books try to get to the root of what pain is and where it comes from and how humans have tried to treat it. From chronic illness, disability to medication. Nonfiction regarding health, women's health, mental health, painkillers, opium, the body and autoimmune diseases. This list is NOT about finding healing (since that is a very individual journey) but how to be seen and understood and how to find the words to describe pain and sickness.

Nonfiction micro-histories that focus on aspects of women’s history. Trying to diversify this list so any suggestions are appreciated

Non-fiction books about health and how our body works, from anatomy to mental health, from healing to studying medicine. 😷 [Note: Some of these books might be controversial or resonate with some more than with others. Pick and choose what works for YOU. :)] Recommendations welcome

Books on the education of PCOS, fertility, & sexual health.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in 2023 & have been trying to educate myself further on not only my diagnosis, but my overall health. I haven’t read many of these, but am more than open to suggestions!

A list of nonfiction books to learn more about female bodies, health, sexuality and needs in a world mostly designed by men for men.
