Michel Foucault examines the archeology of madness in the West from 1500 to 1800 - from the late Middle Ages, when insanity was still considered part of everyday life and fools and lunatics walked the streets freely, to the time when such people began to be considered a threat, asylums were first built, and walls were erected between the "insane" and the rest of humanity.

Throughout the 1980s the United States was shaken by an epidemic of “Satanic Ritual Abuse” witch-hunts targeting schools and day-care centers. Bewildered law-enforcement authorities found themselves besieged by “outraged” parents backed by abuse-pronouncing “play therapists” and tabloid media flame-fanners. That the outrage of the aggrieved parents quickly turned into multimillion-dollar claims and lawsuits merely inspired more copycat scams.In 1986 it was the turn of the Presidio of San Francisco, where a hapless day-care teacher became the scapegoat-of-choice for parents to file $74 million in claims - “validated” by the Army's own “play-therapist”.Left out of this claims bonanza were Army Christian chaplain Larry Adams-Thomson and his wife Michele, so they invented new allegations against “Satanists” Michael and Lilith Aquino, then filed their own $3 million claim, using their own daughter as their pawn. The result was several years of horror and stress for the Aquinos, extending to a “black bag job” against them reaching to the highest levels of the Department of the Army.For years this story was untellable due to the numerous powerful and influential officials who committed crimes in the course of it. Now it can be exposed - and documented in 76 detailed appendices.

“[A] powerful account of the sexism cooked into medical care ... will motivate readers to advocate for themselves.”—Publishers Weekly STARRED Review A groundbreaking and feminist work of investigative reporting: Explains why women experience healthcare differently than men Shares the author’s journey of fighting for an endometriosis diagnosis In Pain and Prejudice, acclaimed investigative reporter Gabrielle Jackson takes readers behind the scenes of doctor’s offices, pharmaceutical companies, and research labs to show that—at nearly every level of healthcare—men’s health claims are treated as default, whereas women’s are often viewed as a-typical, exaggerated, and even completely fabricated. The impacts of this bias? Women are losing time, money, and their lives trying to navigate a healthcare system designed for men. Almost all medical research today is performed on men or male mice, making most treatments tailored to male bodies only. Even conditions that are overwhelmingly more common in women, such as chronic pain, are researched on mostly male bodies. Doctors and researchers who do specialize in women’s healthcare are penalized financially, as procedures performed on men pay higher. Meanwhile, women are reporting feeling ignored and dismissed at their doctor’s offices on a regular basis. Jackson interweaves these and more stunning revelations in the book with her own story of suffering from endometriosis, a condition that affects up to 20% of American women but is poorly understood and frequently misdiagnosed. She also includes an up-to-the-minute epilogue on the ways that Covid-19 are impacting women in different and sometimes more long-lasting ways than men. A rich combination of journalism and personal narrative, Pain and Prejudice reveals a dangerously flawed system and offers solutions for a safer, more equitable future.
