The Lady's Illness Library
by Rachel Katz
The Lady’s Illness Library is a collection of stories about unconventional illness journeys. Here, you won’t find prescriptive health tips or quick fixes, but exploratory conversations that seek to understand these immense human experiences. Diseases that are multifaceted, sort-of-undiagnosed, and debilitating–think autoimmunity, long COVID, migraine–are more common than ever, affecting majority women. And yet, despite their growing ubiquity, they still live beneath the surface of our culture. Let’s change that.
