Foreword

      No one should be sick or die because of gender inequality

      The World Health Organization Department of Gender, Women, and Health

      The authors you will read in the Handbook of Clinical Gender Medicine have responded to the intriguing challenge of describing their discipline through the lens of both gender and sex differences. Grappling with sex and gender requires skills in both the biomedical and social sciences, and when those two thought systems come together, a revolution is in the making. The Handbook of Clinical Gender Medicine addresses this challenge across twelve body systems, providing evidence about the implications of gender and sex in relation to presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of disease processes. It is both practical and useful, as a textbook should be.

      The authors who have contributed to the Handbook of Clinical and Gender Medicine have explained how sex and gender affects medical understanding of pain, epilepsy, violence, metabolic bone disorders, heart disease, and malaria, among other conditions. This is a medical textbook that is both the same as the leading texts that resource clinical practice and yet profoundly different. The promise is that once you have read this textbook you will understand your branch of medicine with new vision for the rest of your life as a clinician.

      All of us, scientists, doctors, and patients, can be grateful for the contributions of the pioneering authors in this textbook. We encourage you to enjoy the insights that their use of the gender lens generates in their respective disciplines and to apply it to your own work in patient care. It is a joy to read this foundational text on the emerging field of gender and medicine.
