I work the way I do because of my body, I vote the way I do because of my body and I live the way I do because of my body. It is not my body that is at fault, but society's failure to deal with bodies like mine. I might be in pain, but I am whole. I refuse to have the difficult parts cropped out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eKylie Maslen has been living with invisible illness for twenty years—more than half her life. Its impact is felt in every aspect of her day-to-day existence—from work to dating; from her fears for what the future holds to her difficulty getting out of bed some mornings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough pop music, art, literature, TV, film and online culture, Maslen explores the lived experience of invisible illness with sensitivity and wit, drawing back the veil on a reality many struggle—or refuse—to recognise. \u003cem\u003eShow Me Where it Hurts\u003c\/em\u003e is a powerful collection of essays that speak to those who have encountered the brush-off from doctors, faced endless tests and treatments, and endured chronic pain and suffering. But it is also a bridge reaching out to partners, families, friends, colleagues, doctors—all those who want to understand what life looks like when you cannot simply show others where it hurts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082529194220,"sku":"9781922330147","price":40.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/11712593482872.jpg?v=1765275334","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/show-me-where-it-hurts-by-kylie-maslen-9781922330147","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
