For decades, work was designed around a fiction, that of the 'neutral' worker, an abstract individual assumed to be fully available, consistent, rational, and unaffected by bodily constraints. But this neutrality was never real.

Among sexually active women who use contraception, 21 percent take birth control pills, while far fewer—13 percent—rely on intrauterine devices (IUDs). Women can assess which of the dozen methods is best for them by talking with family planning counselors at Planned Parenthood and other contraception providers.

For over a month, my office has been going back and forth with ICE officials about Andrea's condition. We have been ignored, put off, and frankly, lied to about the treatment she has received while in detention.

Hite learned early on that women walk a sexual tightrope: 'If you had too much sex, you could be shunned like her mother was; if you didn't have enough, you could be deserted like her grandmother.'

The design combines various methods to create a geography of diverse atmospheres, evoking sensations akin to walking through city streets or natural terrain.

"Our findings reveal intriguing differences in the way men and women respond to obesity. They show just how important gender-specific research is."

Union Berlin has made history after appointing Marie-Louise Eta as their new head coach, becoming the first club in Europe's top five leagues to have a female head coach. Eta takes the job on an interim basis until the end of the season, having previously served as the club's assistant and U19 manager.

I wanted to create a space where practicing specialists in obstetrics and gynecology could literally drive ourselves to a community that needed practitioners, pop open and see folks the way that we see them in our offices.

Ju Young Lee, one of the researchers behind the scan, has said she's amazed it has taken so long for a project like this to materialise. The clitoris has long been understudied and misunderstood.

Since the first IVF baby was born in 1978, technological advancement of reproductive medicine has enabled millions to have children, marking a significant milestone in medical history.

For more than 60 years, contraception has been almost exclusively a women's responsibility. Today, women have more than 14 modern contraceptive options, while men have just two: condoms and vasectomies. That imbalance has pushed women to shoulder physical side effects, financial burden, medical risks, and the career impact of family planning-costs that have been accepted as the "status quo" for far too long.

Born and raised in Texas, Dr Crowder left the state to attend Howard University. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in 1982 and her Doctor of Medicine degree in 1986 from Howard University College of Medicine. She returned to Texas to begin practising and later became board-certified in Obstetrics and Gynaecology in 1994.

I can't even count the number of thoughts I have every single day, just bouncing around in my head like a ping pong ball. I think every mom feels the same way, which is why when you ask a mom what's on her mind, her response could range from something like "Oh, just thinking about my kid's new soccer team" to "The fall of democracy and the state of the world."

The truth, of course, is that anyone can contract HIV, given the right circumstance, and according to the Yale University Library's online exhibition " We Are Everywhere: Lesbians in the Archive," by 1991 roughly 40% of HIV-positive people and 12% of AIDS patients in the U.S. were women. But a combination of longstanding bias in the medical field and the perception of HIV/AIDS as a gay epidemic led to women being excluded from research studies and clinical trials.
