Have you ever been told that your pain is imaginary? That feeling better just takes yoga, CBD oil and the
blood of a unicorn on a full moon?

This kind of medical gaslighting is the reality for many of the 400 million people around the world suffering from endometriosis, and millions more with PCOS, fibroids and adenomyosis. BLEED is part memoir, part investigative journalism and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails these patients.
Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks how the modern endo experience was built upon a medical system that gained its power by marginalizing women. Through its intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia and other prejudices to this day.
A brilliant, blistering read.
BLEED is a memoir of Tracey Lindeman's decades-long attempt to be effectively treated for endometriosis. It is also a masterful work of investigative journalism and an expansive history of women having agency taken away in their own health care… Lindeman offers incontrovertible proof of a history of neglect and deceit.
— Heather O’Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads
