Cysterhood: Living with PCOS at the Intersection of Feminism, Medicine, and Medical Research - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
“My ovaries tried to kill me on more than one occasion. It’s hard not to take that personally.”
Amy Pallant was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) at age 12 at a time when doctors had little information about PCOS and almost no idea how to treat it.
In her memoir, Pallant tells honest and sometimes poignant stories of how she handled her PCOS symptoms as a young woman, recovered from both emergency and “elective” surgeries, and later treated her infertility, managed her menopause, and survived ovarian cancer.
Pallant also reflects on how her PCOS journey connects to the timelines of recent medical and women's history. Pallant’s treatment for PCOS evolved through the decades not only because of advances in medical research, but also because of feminist advocacy around women’s health care.
