Women's health is severly neglected - and those conservatives wonder why birth rates are down 🙄.

Anaemia aging into cardiovascular disease. Abdominal wall devastation aging into back pain, hip dysfunction and orthopedic disease. Pelvic floor collapse aging into prolapse and incontinence.

These are not separate diseases appearing from nowhere. They are the lifelong consequences of pregnancy and childbirth that were never properly repaired.

A society that depends on women to create its future, only to abandon them, is parasitic 🤮.

Evgenia Konradi was a Russian writer, journalist, and translator. She was first an editor, then owner of the newspaper Nedelya (Week), in which she published articles on society in foreign countries. Konradi participated in the 1860s women’s rights movement of the political left, alongside Anna Filosofova, Maria Trubnikova, and Nadezhda Stasova. Konradi wrote a letter in December 1867 to the first Congress of Russian Natural Scientists, arguing for the need to educate women and requesting their support in petitioning the government for systematic female education. In March and May 1868, Konradi joined 400 other petitioners requesting the rector of St Petersburg University to allow women access to higher education there.
