Women's pain has historically been dismissed, minimised, or simply not believed. In The Stitch-Up, Emma Szewczak investigates the systemic failures - historical, institutional and cultural - that have left women under-researched, under-treated and under-heard in our healthcare system.
This is a book that asks hard questions and demands serious answers. In this frank and necessary conversation, Emma discusses the evidence, the personal stories, and the structural changes that are urgently needed. An essential event for anyone who cares about women's health - which should be everyone.
