As Morgan argues, we've gotten better at talking about mental health, but we still shy away from discussing periods, miscarriage, endometriosis, and menopause. That results in a lack of vital understanding for women, particularly as those processes are inextricably connected to our mental health; by exploring women's bodies in conjunction with our minds, Morgan urges for new thinking about our health. \u003cbr\u003eExamining the mythology of female hormones, the ways that culture shapes our perceptions of women's bodies, and the latest medical research, \u003ci\u003e Hysterical\u003c\/i\u003e skillfully paints a portrait of the modern landscape of women and health--and shows us how to navigate stigma and misinformation.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEleanor Morgan\u003c\/b\u003e is a journalist who has written and interviewed extensively for the Guardian, the \u003ci\u003eObserver\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eTimes\u003c\/i\u003e, the \u003ci\u003eIndependent\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGQ\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHarper's Bazaar, Vogue, \u003c\/i\u003eBuzzfeed and the Believer.
