The Healthcare Rebellion
By Kate Ford Michaels

Women Fighting to Fix the System

Exposing Medical Inequity, Empowering Women’s Advocacy

Institutional power structures have embedded inequity into UK women’s healthcare for centuries, causing disparity that persists today. Kate Ford Michaels’ first book, The Healthcare Rebellion (2027), traces the direct lineage from ancient hierarchies to modern medical failures, interweaving her own lobular breast cancer story with the history of activist resistance since the 1970s.

The book empowers readers to recognise medical misogyny as systemic patterns rather than isolated incidents. It identifies how interconnected health failures link to historical oppression and offers insight into leading effective political campaigns and lobbying for vital research. Practical tools help readers advocate effectively using research-backed evidence, communicate confidently with healthcare providers, and build broader coalitions for systems change through women’s health activist networks.

Understanding the System, Challenging the Past, Driving Change

The Healthcare Rebellion (2027) provides a framework for understanding systemic medical discrimination and a blueprint for meaningful policy change in a system that has historically silenced women.
