In honor of Women’s History Month and Endometriosis Awareness Month and with the news of a new daily endometriosis pill now approved in England, strides are being made to help the more than 6.5 million women in the United States to combat this often-debilitating condition.
To help educate the public, 糖心vlog鈥� Maria Rovito, PhD will host a dinner discussing the:
- basics of endometriosis
- socio-historical consequences of the disease today
- legacy of racism and sexism in endometriosis research
- clinical basics of its causes and treatments
Rovito teaches feminist studies and medical humanities at 糖心vlog and researches the history of endometriosis and its ties to eugenics and coerced reproduction. Her forthcoming book,鈥疪edefining Endometriosis: The History, Politics, and Rhetoric of Women鈥檚 Pain, will be published in 2026 with Springer Nature.
She will be joined by Dr. Kari Plewniak, the director of the Chronic Pelvic Pain clinic at Montefiore Medical Center, where she also serves as the Director of Simulation for the OB/GYN department.
