Sick of It : The Global Fight for Women's Health

In a world where the health of women is increasingly entangled with political struggles, Sophie Harman's compelling work dives deep into these pressing issues. Highlighted as "A powerful prescription for change" by the Observer and "An eye-opening contribution to the global discourse on women's health" by The Lancet, this book sheds light on the urgent need for action. Globally, we've seen numerous initiatives funded by governments and philanthropies aimed at combating the causes of death and disease among women. Yet, progress remains elusive. From the rollback of abortion rights to the attack on Ukrainian maternity hospitals and the exploitation of vulnerable patients and healthcare workers, women's health faces numerous threats. Harman not only explores these critical challenges but also proposes smart, actionable solutions to tackle the crisis. Endorsements from notable figures such as Gina Rippon, who describes the book as "radical and thought-provoking," and Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan, who finds it "illuminating and important," underscore its impact. Stella Duffy, OBE, further commends Harman for gathering both shocking realities and hopeful avenues for action, making this work essential reading for anyone interested in advocating for women's health.
