| book description |

A personal and explosive investigation into modern day gynaecological neglect and medical misogyny. Evelyn Scott was a teenager when she first began suffering from the symptoms of endometriosis, a condition which affects one in ten women. For fifteen years she endured constant, agonising pain, dismissals of hysteria, irresponsible misdiagnoses and a deplorable lack of support. With every refusal to take her experience seriously, the medical industry’s position was made clear: to be female is to inevitably live in pain. In this searing and deeply personal exposé, Evelyn refutes this narrative and reveals the shocking realities of gynaecological neglect that has left so many women in the shadow of their own bodies. Weaving her own story of debilitating pain with those from others all across the world, Evelyn chronicles the systemic failures that are causing harm to women with reproductive conditions globally, from the first period all the way through to treatment and beyond. With unflinching honesty, A Bloody Scandal is an urgent call to action for empathy-led approaches in understanding and treating female pain.
