Part memoir, part survival guide, all truth. Dr. Kemi Doll’s debut book is a powerful blend of lived experience, scientific insight, and unflinching truth. Bringing equal reverence to the scalpel and the spirit, it calls out what has been silenced and offers a vision for what comes next. In A Terrible Strength, Dr. Doll equips women with the tools to recognize Womb Suffering - including Endometriosis, Fibroids, Heavy Bleeding, and Endometrial cancer, as well as guides women to be able to advocate for themselves and reclaim their health.
