    Invisible : how young women with serious health issues navigate work, relationships, and the pressure to seem just fine / Michele Lent Hirsch.
    by Hirsch, Michele Lent, author.
    Boston : Beacon Press, [2018]
    Description: 
    x, 230 pages ; 24 cm
    Contents: 
    Could someone love this body of mine -- The (foggy) glass ceiling and the wall -- It's cool guys I'm totally fine -- Why don't they believe me? or the case of the lady lab rat -- To raise small humans -- or not -- Sick like Miss America.
    Summary: 
    Lent Hirsch weaves her own harrowing experiences together with stories from other women, perspectives from sociologists on structural inequality, and insights from neuroscientists on misogyny in health research. She shows how health issues and disabilities amplify what women in general already confront: warped beauty standards, workplace sexism, worries about romantic partners, and mistrust of their own bodies. By shining a light on this hidden demographic, Lent Hirsch explores the challenges that all women face.
    "Author Michele Lent Hirsch knew she couldn't be the only woman who's faced serious health issues at a young age, as well as the resulting effects on her career, her relationships, and her sense of self. What she found while researching Invisible was a surprisingly large and overlooked population with important stories to tell. Though young women with serious illness tend to be seen as outliers, young female patients are in fact the primary demographic for many illnesses. They are also one of the most ignored groups in our medical system--a system where young women, especially women of color and trans women, are invisible."--Publisher's description.
