Most clinicians are unwilling to admit a dangerous truth: women's healthcare is biased.
In Brown Girls' Disease?, Dr. Sameena Rahman calls for change in a system failing to meet all women's needs by exploring the intersection of gender, culture, religion, and medicine. More than a medical resource, Brown Girls' Disease? equips women with the tools they need and covers topics rarely discussed, including vaginismus, PGAD, libido, and arousal. Learn how trauma, medical bias, and psychological conditions impact sexual dysfunction, and how to navigate postpartum, perimenopause, and menopause. Discover the five most common sexual health conditions and gain a safe space for finding answers to the questions you've been too afraid to ask.
Women deserve care that meets them without judgment. Learn how to reclaim your body, your choices, and your right to compassionate care with this must-read guide for becoming your own best advocate.
