Join four writers to unpick medical misogyny and misinformation.
Their writing reflects on personal and collective experiences where pain is dismissed, instincts doubted, the body misread.
Amid systemic bias and gendered gaslighting, these stories of self-advocacy are starting to come to the fore.
Hosted by a sexual reproductive health writer, this panel spans authors of a literary memoir about living with PMDD, an autofictional work that explores the complexities of modern motherhood and a nonfiction examination of the dark heart of alternative medicine.
Together their works interrogate how and why these experiences can be minimised, misdiagnosed and misunderstood.
All details about accessibility options can be found on EWF website, here.
