Pain and prejudice. Gabrielle Jackson. 2019.

Fourteen years after being diagnosed with endometriosis, Gabrielle Jackson couldn’t believe how little had changed in the treatment and knowledge of the disease. In 2015, her personal story kickstarted a worldwide investigation into the disease by The Guardian, thousands of women got in touch to tell their own stories and many more read and share the material. What began as one issue led Jackson to explore how women - historically and through to the present day - are under-served by the systems that should keep them happy, healthy and informed about their bodies.

In a potential blend of personal memoir and polemic, Jackson confronts the private concerns and questions women face regarding their health and medical treatment. Pain and Prejudice finally explains how we got here, and where we need to go next.
