"In her 2018 book Ask Me About my Uterus, Abby Norman initially defies the odds as a newly emancipated minor from an abusive home by earning a scholarship to Sarah Lawrence. She desperately wants to stay at the only place she’s ever felt at ease—but as doctors continue to dismiss her pain and misdiagnose her Endometriosis, she can no longer keep up with classes and is forced to quit college and dancing."

Medical drama.
Who needs awareness about this?
"There remain a slew of women’s health issues that are underfunded and lack awareness—and medical sexism remains rampant.
