Fruit Of Knowledge by Liv Strömquist

A witty, illustrated investigation of how women's bodies, minds and sexuality have been pathologized and policed across history, tracing myths, medical theories and legal practices—from biblical and classical stories through witch hunts and psychiatric diagnoses to modern science and culture—and using comics, satire and research to reveal patterns of misogyny, the medicalization of female experience, and the social forces that have silenced and punished female knowledge and desire.
