Critics Review

‘A powerful and revelatory call-to-arms for compassionate and empathetic health care for all women. Evelyn Scott is an informed and passionate advocate for those affected by medical neglect and diagnostic inequity, and A Bloody Scandal is a change-making book; moving, furious and full of hope’ Elinor Cleghorn, author of Unwell Women
‘Superbly written’ Dr. Louise Newson, #1 Sunday Times Bestselling author of The Power of Hormones
A Bloody Scandal is an empathetic, thoughtfully researched book that will validate and empower those who know the pain it dissects, and be an invigorating call to action for those who don’t. Evelyn’s deeply personal story has global impact’ Abby Norman, author of Ask Me About My Uterus: A Quest to Make Doctors Believe in Women’s Pain
A Bloody Scandal is an unsettlingly apt title for this harrowing record of the ways women are failed by healthcare. With heroic effort, Evelyn Scott has synthesized an enormous amount of information and examines it with a clear eye so we can see the whole picture, one that calls us to immediate action’ Karen Havelin, author of Please Read This Leaflet Carefully
