All in her head : the truth and lies early medicine taught us about women's bodies and why it matters today / by Comen, Elizabeth,author.;
Includes bibliographical references and index.For as long as medicine has been a practice, woman's bodies have been treated like objects to be practiced on: examined and ignored, idealized and sexualized, shamed, subjugated, mutilated, and dismissed. The history of women's healthcare is a story in which women themselves have too often been voiceless-a narrative written from the perspective of men who styled themselves as authorities on the female of the species, uninformed by women's own voices, thoughts, fears, pain, and experiences. This continuing cultural and societal legacy results in the (mis)treatment and care of women. While the modern age has seen significant advancements in the medical field, the notion that female bodies are flawed inversions of the male ideal lingers on-as do the pervasive societal stigmas and ignorance that shape women's health and relationships with their own bodies. Memorial Sloan Kettering oncologist and medical historian Dr. Elizabeth Comen draws back the curtain on the collective medical history of women to reintroduce us to our whole bodies-how they work, the actual doctors and patients whose perspectives and experiences laid the foundation for today's medical thought, and the many oversights that remain unaddressed. With a physician's knowledge and empathy, Dr. Comen follows the road map of the eleven organ systems to share unique and untold stories, drawing upon medical texts and journals, interviews with expert physicians, as well as her own observations from treating thousands of women. Empowering women to better understand themselves and advocate for care that prioritizes healthy and joyful lives-for us and generations to come-'All In Her Head' is written with humor, wisdom, and deep scientific and cultural insight. Eye-opening, sometimes enraging, yet always captivating, this shared memoir of women's medical history is an essential contribution to a holistic understanding and a much-needed reclaiming of women's history and bodies.

June in the garden : a novel / by Wilde, Eleanor,author.;
"After her mother's unexpected death, June must vacate her home. But when the social worker urges her to move into a flat with no garden -- clearly, that won't work. With no other options, she embarks on her first solo trip in search of a father she's only seen in a single old photograph. When June unexpectedly shows up at her father's door, he panics and turns her away, unwilling to jeopardize his idyllic life and new family. On her way out, June spies an unruly backyard and with nowhere else to go, quietly moves into her father's yellow garden shed. Once again, she can spend her days surrounded by her beloved flowers. But when her father's 12-year-old son -- her half-brother -- discovers June, she must choose between being seen for the first time or running away yet again."--

First light in Morning Star / by Hubbard, Charlotte,1953-;
Leaving Flaud's Furniture to teach at the community's new school is a joy for Lydianne Christner. Old Order Amish, but new to Morning Star, she's grateful that the congregation trusts her with the position--but she panics when handsome Bishop Jeremiah Shetler asks about the life she left behind. If anyone discovers the secret she's hiding, she would, quite rightly, be shunned. A widower, Bishop Jeremiah admires young Lydianne's youthful energy and skill with the children. He's also curious about her past, and the burden he senses on her heart. When his request to court her is refused, he's stung, and lonelier than ever. It isn't until a crisis prompts a tearful Lydianne to confess to him that Jeremiah is faced with a choice that requires all of his faith--and teaches them both that love and forgiveness go hand in hand.
