"Hossain synthesizes a great deal of qualitative and quantitative
data in this effective overview of bias in American medicine,
particularly women's and maternal healthcare. An especially welcome
addition to healthcare policy, women's studies, and race studies
collections at public or special libraries." -Library Journal
"In The Pain Gap, Anushay Hossain paints a startling picture of a
nation that imperils women's lives and then tells them they're
crazy for believing something might be wrong. Every woman, and
every person who cares about women, should read this crucial book."
- Jill Filipovic author of The H-Spot: The Feminist Pursuit of
Happiness and OK Boomer, Let's Talk: How My Generation Got Left
Behind.
"Anushay Hossain brilliantly tells the essential and shocking story
of what is happening to women - their health, safety, rights, and
long-term wellbeing - every day in America. This is a must-read."
--Soraya Chemaly, author of Rage Becomes Her
"The Pain Gap is a book that is timely and masterfully written.
Anushay Hossain takes us on a journey with women who have
experienced the health and wellness gap in America. She has
presented us with an amazing work of empathy, honesty, and a
roadmap to how we can fix this gap and make healthcare safe for all
women, not just white women." --Sophia A. Nelson, Bestselling
author of The Woman Code & Black Woman Redefined
"Written with a heart full of hope, a belly full of rage, and the
meticulous mind of a veteran journalist, The Pain Gap is both an
unsparing account of our country's murderous indifference toward
women of color, and a roadmap out of that hell. It should be
mandatory reading for every policymaker and health care
professional in the country." -Jaclyn Friedman, editor of Yes Means
Yes: Visions of Sexual Power and a World Without Rape and Believe
Me: How Trusting Women Can Change the World.
Named as one of the 21 of the most anticipated books coming out in
the second half of 2021 by Fortune Magazine
"The Pain Gap is an eye opening exploration into the deeply rooted
sexism and racism that pervades the American health care system."
--Christy Turlington Burns, founder of Every Mother Counts
