They are also one of the most ignored groups in our medical system₇a system where young women, especially women of color and trans women, are invisible. Michele Lent Hirsch knew she couldn't be the only woman who's faced serious health issues at a young age, as well as the resulting effects on her career, her relationships, and her sense of self. What she found while researching Invisible was a surprisingly large and overlooked population with important stories to tell. Miriam's doctor didn't believe she had breast cancer; she did. Sophie navigates being the only black scientist in her lab while studying the very disease, HIV, that she hides from her coworkers. For Victoria, coming out as a transgender woman was less difficult than coming out as bipolar. And because of expectations about gender and age, young women with health issues must often deal with bias in their careers and personal lives. Not only do they feel pressured to seem perfect and youthful, they also find themselves amid labyrinthine obstacles in a culture that has one narrow idea of womanhood. Lent Hirsch weaves her own harrowing experiences together with stories from other women, perspectives from sociologists on structural inequality, and insights from neuroscientists on misogyny in health research. She shows how health issues and disabilities amplify what women in general already confront: warped beauty standards, workplace sexism, worries about romantic partners, and mistrust of their own bodies. By shining a light on this hidden demographic, Lent Hirsch explores the challenges that all women face. 000809030 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000809030 650_0 $$aSick$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 000809030 650_0 $$aWomen$$zUnited States$$xSocial conditions. 000809030 650_0 $$aSick$$zUnited States$$xPsychology. 000809030 650_0 $$aWomen$$zUnited States$$xPsychology. 000809030 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHirsch, Michele Lent, author.$$tInvisible$$dBoston : Beacon Press, [2018]$$z9780807023952$$w(DLC) 2017026791 000809030 852__ $$bacq 000809030 85280 $$bebk$$hEBSCOhost 000809030 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=1450467$$zOnline Access 000809030 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:809030$$pGLOBAL_SET 000809030 980__ $$aEBOOK 000809030 980__ $$aBIB 000809030 982__ $$aEbook 000809030 983__ $$aOnline 000809030 994__ $$a92$$bISE
