Today, we wanted to further delve into the role media has in being the bridge between knowledge production and connecting women in a wider community over their healthcare experiences. Media created on this issue serves to both educate and connect, both of which are vital to enacting social change. Science is a practice that both uncovers reality as well as produces reality. Producers of knowledge have the power to both explain our experiences as well as engineer them. The experience of women historically being left out of producing official and so-called more “credible” knowledge, when combined with the rise of modern media technologies, has led to them re-taking the microphone of knowledge production. Women turning to and utilizing media to be their own knowledge producers is key, and a milestone in this long timeline of how we perceive women’s health.
