Description
Women are different from men in every way, from their DNA on up - but the male-centric model of medicine is so pervasive in our healthcare systems, procedures, and philosophy that many don't even realize it exists. Most people simply assume that women's differences are already being taken into account - yet nothing could be further from the truth.
Description
Physician and leading expert Dr. Alyson McGregor is on the front lines of sex- and gender-based medicine. In Sex Matters, she exposes one of the most urgent issues facing women's health today : all medical models - in research and practice - are male-centric, erasing the unique biological and emotional differences between men and women. This bias can actually jeopardize a woman's life. We need to reinvent modern medicine to include, accommodate, and ultimately empower the other half of the human population that has been, until now, marginalized and left behind. We need a road map for doing this - and Sex Matters offers just that.
