Hi everyone.
I’m looking for a book focused on medical misogyny and bias. I’d rather there be focus on how the treatments/research/medication is less effective for women rather than a focus on how women are treated differently by doctors/medical professionals.
I’ve read Invisible Women and the gender delusion but these covered a range of topics.

Invisible Kingdoms is good. Also, Unwell Women
It’s not exactly what you’re looking for, but based on your interest in this topic I think you would really enjoy reading Amy Tan’s Circle of Women by Lisa See.
It takes place in early China and touches a lot on medical practices at the time as well as the problems women faced. Even though it took place in the 1500s it is reminiscent in some ways of what women still face today. Just in a different setting.
I hope you’re able to find some books relating to the topic you’re asking about. Women’s healthcare really is important, and it’s honestly terrifying how bad it is currently.
