EP14 - The Gender Pain Gap with Gabrielle Jackson
Wednesday Jan 15, 2020
Wednesday Jan 15, 2020
A conversation with journalist and author Gabrielle Jackson about her new book Pain and Prejudice: A Call To Arms for Women and their Bodies
Having suffered from the chronic pain condition, endometriosis for 14 years, Gabrielle started to wonder why we – and her doctors – still knew so little about it. This lead her into an in-depth investigation into the topic which concluded that medicine systematically ignores or sidelines women – who are by far the most common sufferers of chronic pain conditions, and the worrying realisation that “almost everything we know about human biology comes from the study of men”.
On the podcast, Gabrielle talks about her own experience and discoveries – and why she is calling women to arms.
