  • I wanted to study empowerment, and the lack thereof, as a potential missing modality in women's health— in hopes of supporting other women like me."
  • In Autoimmunity and the "Good Girls" ™ out of total women screened, nearly a quarter of the 2,525 had been diagnosed with at least one autoimmune disease.
