It’s a stitch-up. And we demand better.

After receiving a vague diagnosis of ‘prolapse’ following the birth of her child, Emma spent years being shunted between specialists. The solutions on offer ranged from Kegels to hysterectomy and even labia trimming. Some doctors simply shrugged and said there was nothing they could do.

Inspired by the medical failure surrounding her own condition, Emma started to investigate more widely. Over and over again, she heard about women in pain, bleeding, dying, failed by the professionals who were supposed to help them. The Stitch-Up tells their stories and calls for better research, healthcare options, language and treatment, arguing that being female should never be a death sentence.

A shocking and deeply personal exposé of the women's healthcare crisis: 'This book could not be more timely' OBSERVER

Kritikerstimmen

A long-overdue spotlight on medical misogyny… with extraordinary courage and candour… This book could not be more timely (Rachel Clarke)
Reading about the comprehensive and egregious medical mistreatment of women in the modern era is unsettling, but the authors make it inspiring and invigorating. I have high hopes these stories will be tools in our ongoing fight for change (JULIA BUENO, author of The Brink of Being)
The Stitch Up addresses a national crisis in a profound yet incredibly humane way. Blending powerful personal stories and science, Szewczak & Harris prove that modern medicine has never served women’s needs and it's time for that to change (EVE RODSKY, author of Fair Play)
Deeply unsettling and affecting... Reading The Stitch-Up is like meeting up with that friend who will tell you how it really was with all the gory details, but they still manage to make you cry with laughter (CATHERINE AIREY, author of Confessions)
