Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World Free Audiobook Download by Elinor Cleghorn

Women have been misdiagnosed with illness for centuries, but the story is told by Elinor Cleghorn and set during the 19th century, a time when women were being diagnosed as suffering from an "hysteria." The book, which is readily available in audiobook format, tells the tale of how people in society are unsure about what female sicknesses are real and what is fake.

Elinor Cleghorn is an American journalist and advocate for women's health who wrote this book in 1908. Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World offers a true account of how society continues to be plagued by misdiagnoses and untruths about women.

In this audiobook, Elinor Cleghorn investigates the causes of women's illness and how they are diagnosed. She argues that as modern-day society has grown more "technically advanced," it is no longer easy to diagnose women's illnesses with any degree of accuracy. Cleghorn examines the history of women's illness through different stages in time and how false diagnoses have been misused by employers, doctors, and the media.

Unwell Women: Misdiagnosis and Myth in a Man-Made World is the second book by Elinor Cleghorn that was published in 1877. The author argues the case for women's co-equal position with men, not just in the home, but also in society as a whole. She talks about how doctors have overlooked women's health and have birthed countless myths that make their bodies seem less important than those of men.
