The Lady's Handbook for Her Mysterious Illness

This book is a must-read memoir for anyone, and certainly any woman, who will come in contact with our nation’s healthcare system.

The dark humor and excellent storytelling are the perfect soil to build a heartbreaking picture of the bias and misogyny that lurks in a woman’s most vulnerable moments. Sarah Ramey’s perspective on the healthcare system makes me want to weep and then do so much better.

This book provides an answer to the looming modern-day question of why so many women are chronically ill. Author Sarah Ramey tells the moving story of her own chronic illness while putting the pieces together as to what so many women are suffering from and how we can help.

As someone who has dealt with chronic illness myself, this book illuminated not only what was happening in my body but also what was happening within my culture that needed to be overhauled along with my own life.
