All in Her Head: The Truth and Lies Early Medicine Taught Us About Women's Bodies and Why It Matters Today
The fascinating history of women’s health as it’s never been told before. "All in Her Head" by Dr. Elizabeth Comen explores the historical and ongoing mistreatment of women's bodies in medicine, a field traditionally dominated by male perspectives. Despite modern advancements, harmful stereotypes about female bodies persist. Dr. Comen, an oncologist and medical historian, uses her expertise to uncover overlooked aspects of women's healthcare, sharing stories from medical texts, interviews, and her own practice. This book aims to empower women with knowledge and advocate for better, more joyful healthcare, blending humor, wisdom, and scientific insight to reclaim women's medical history.

How Do You Feel?: One Doctor’s Search for Humanity in Medicine
A moving memoir by psychiatrist Dr. Jessi Gold, who explores the hidden emotional and physical tolls of caregiving through her own experiences and those of four patients—a resident with OCD, a pregnant nurse with PTSD, a medical student with test anxiety, and an overwhelmed ER physician. Faced with a critical mistake, Jessi reevaluates her relentless commitment to others and the healthcare system's demands. By intertwining research, personal stories, and therapy insights, "How Do You Feel?" reflects on the importance of self-care for those dedicated to caring for others, revealing a universal message about maintaining our humanity in helping professions.
