Hysterical women: a feminist exploration of health, sexism and hysteria

Summary

Hysterical Women is a blog inspired by the work of freelance health journalist, Sarah Graham. It was launched in October 2018, after she noticed that a common theme in so much of her work was women not being taken seriously, not being trusted to know their own bodies, and having their concerns dismissed or disbelieved by doctors. This cut right across the health spectrum – whether their concerns were related to mental, physical, sexual, or any other kind of health problem.
