    The most interesting information that I read in this book was how all women no matter their race wanted their rights because they worked like a man if not harder and did men’s jobs sporadically throughout history. This was interesting because even though women proved themselves over and over and still men refused to recognize them. Women posed as a major factor in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars but once again received no recognition. Men failed to realize the importance of women.…

    There was a time in history that women had to fight against sexual prejudices in the work place. Sexual prejudice was particularly clear in the field of medicine as there were no women doctors. One of the first women to pioneer the way for other women in the medical field was Elizabeth Blackwell.

Elizabeth Blackwell was the first woman to graduate from medical school in the United States and an activist for public health that opened doors for other women, creating a new way of thinking for her and future women’s accomplishments in medicine.…

    During the early 1800's women were stuck in the Cult of Domesticity. Women had been issued roles as the moral keepers for societies as well as the nonworking house-wives for families. Also, women were considered unequal to their male companions legally and socially. However, women's efforts during the 1800's were effective in challenging traditional intellectual, social, economical, and political attitudes about a women's place in society.…

    Men and women’s bodies react differently to some of the same external forces, such as a disease and sickness. “With heart disease, many cancers, immunological disorders, and HIV, women present symptoms unlike men’s and respond to different medications and dosages” (Berg 140). Because medical practitioners fail to recognize these differences, many women are improperly diagnosed or receive insufficient treatment. For example, cardiovascular disease has a high mortality rate among both men and women, but the warning signs of a heart attack differ between the two sexes. Men suffer from “chest and arm pain,” whereas women complain about feeling “overwhelmingly tired and dizzy, with occasional shortness of breath” (Berg 139). Educating healthcare providers on the different needs of men and women could potentially save a life. “For too long, women have been treated as ‘little men,’ without an appreciation of the differences in prevalence and symptoms among various conditions and what those differences mean for diagnosis and treatment” (Berg 141). Luckily, since the formation of the Society for Women’s Health Research in 1990, more attention has been paid to biological differences of men and women, allowing for better diagnoses and…

    Over the course of the past 50 years, health care benefits costs and coverage have become a dominant force in almost everyone 's life. By 1990, 186 million Americans were covered by health insurance (Kinner & Pellegrini, 2009). Even with that extremely high number, many people are still left out not possessing any insurance coverage because either they can’t afford it or they just don’t have it. With health care expenditures reaching an all-time high, the public people are left wondering where is all the money going.
