Misinformation, misogyny, and money: how community could be the key to unlock FemTech
Historically, women’s health has been an issue shrouded in misinformation and lack of understanding. We’ve all heard of the Freudian term 'hysteria', which the psychoanalyst used to describe women who he deemed to have suffered childhood sexual abuse or repression.
