Description

Medical gaslighting and discrimination are the reality of many of the 190 million people around the world suffering from endometriosis. Journalist Tracey Lindeman knows it all too well. Decades of suffering from endo propelled the creation of BLEED—part memoir, part investigative journalism and all scathing indictment of how the medical system fails patients. Through extensive interviews and research, BLEED tracks the modern endo experience to the origins of medicine and how the system gained its power by marginalizing women. Using an intersectional lens, BLEED dives into how the system perpetuates misogyny, racism, classism, ageism, transphobia, fatphobia and other prejudices to this day. Out March 21, 2023 on ECW Press. Tracey Lindeman is a longtime freelance journalist whose work has appeared in The Guardian, The Atlantic, Al Jazeera, Maclean’s, The Walrus, the Globe and Mail and many other publications. When she isn't writing or fighting with the medical system, she can often be found gardening, learning languages, trying out new arts and crafts mediums and techniques, thinking up tattoo ideas, listening to loud music or planning her next trip. She speaks English, French, Spanish and a bit of German (so far). BLEED is her first book. She is from Montreal and is currently based in western Quebec.
