In her book, How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women, Dr. Crenshaw argues that sexism and racism are not just abstract concepts, but rather concrete forces that have a real and deadly impact on the lives of women.
Dr. Crenshaw provides a wealth of evidence to support her claims. She shows how sexism and racism lead to:
- Disparities in access to healthcare
- Disparities in the quality of healthcare
- Disparities in health outcomes
These disparities have a devastating impact on the lives of women. For example, black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. Native American women are twice as likely to die from breast cancer as white women. And Latinas are more likely to be diagnosed with cervical cancer at a later stage than white women.
Dr. Crenshaw's book is a powerful indictment of the healthcare system. She shows how sexism and racism are embedded in the very structure of our healthcare system, and how these biases lead to deadly consequences for women.
How Sexism and Racism in Healthcare Kill Women is a must-read for anyone who cares about the health and well-being of women. It is a powerful call to action to address the sexism and racism that are killing women.
