Vitally important and refreshingly candid, Morgan’s urgent, accessible book breaks countless nonsensical taboos about female health. From periods to endometriosis, Hormonal discusses physical conditions alongside an intelligent debate about mental issues, to provide a genuinely revolutionary approach to addressing women’s health.
Combining her own experiences with extensive research and expert contributions, Eleanor Morgan explores the relationship between the female body, the female mind and the ways in which women's bodies are being medicalised.
As Morgan argues, we've gotten better at talking about mental health, but we still shy away from discussing periods, miscarriage, endometriosis and menopause. That results in a lack of vital understanding for women, particularly as those processes are inextricably connected to our mental health; by exploring women's bodies in conjunction with our minds, Morgan urges for new thinking about our health.
