These books show us how women’s bodies have been the scapegoats of patriarchy in most scenarios. Science, which prides itself on its objective analysis, fails to deliver the justice and dignity that women deserve. But time has come to denounce the myths that may keep women from being able to take care of their health because of misinformation. These books teach us how to be proactive and not trust the system that benefits from women’s oppression. They educate us against losing ourselves to a society that has always worked in our disfavor. Editor’s note: Because there is even less research into trans people’s healthcare as there is into cisgender women’s healthcare, this list is focused on books about cis women’s bodies. These books are bringing women closer to their bodies. We can certainly hope that we will have more such books in the near future and thus take a step towards achieving true parity. If you are interested in learning more about women’s bodies, please check out this list of nonfiction reads!
