Sophie Harman | Sick of It: the global fight for women’s health
Spring 2026
Why are women still dying across the world from causes we know how to prevent? In Sick of It: The Global Fight for Women’s Health, shortlisted for the 2025 British Academy Book Prize, award-winning academic Professor Sophie Harman delivers a bold, urgent and eye-opening call to action.
Drawing on frontline case studies – from abortion rights and maternal healthcare to conflict zones and global health policy – Sophie shows how women’s health is repeatedly caught in the crossfire of global politics, misused and neglected by those in power. Clear, accessible and deeply compelling, Sick of It exposes the human cost of political failure while offering smart, practical solutions for change. Sophie Harman sat down with journalist and presenter Rosie Goldsmith at our Spring 2026 Festival to explore why this crisis persists, how women’s bodies have become political battlegrounds, and what governments – and all of us – can do to help fix it.
