As doctors stopped prescribing hormone replacement during menopause, an uptick in fatal UTIs began. Why did FDA warnings against estrogen persist for decades? #MsReads via @usatoday.com

Exclusive: FDA warnings persisted as UTIs turned deadly in menopause
Menopause increases the risk of UTIs which can lead to sepsis and death in older women. For years, the FDA discouraged the one drug that could help.

Historian’s reflection: Yes, the U.S. response to 9/11 was utterly transformative and brought us to where we are today. But also yes, the settlement of the 2000 presidential election was a bright unheeded early warning.

Steinem never claimed to be, or attempted to be, a scholar, intellectual, or theorist. . . But Katharine Q. Seelye’s obituary for Steinem got it absolutely right when it tagged Steinem a “personification” of the women’s movement of the 1960s and decades beyond. open.substack.com/pub/feliciak...
