A Feminist’s Guide to ADHD by Dr Janina Maschke is a groundbreaking resource that addresses the unique experiences of women with ADHD. Recognising that ADHD has historically been underdiagnosed and misunderstood in women, this book offers a compassionate and empowering perspective tailored specifically to their needs.

Dr Maschke, an experienced ADHD and Executive Functioning coach with a PhD in Psychology, combines the latest research with personal case studies and practical exercises. She explores how gender influences the understanding and diagnosis of ADHD, the role of hormones in symptom management, and the common co-existing conditions that women may face.

Whether you're newly diagnosed, suspect you might have ADHD, or are seeking strategies to manage your symptoms, this book provides tools to help you thrive. Embracing neurodiversity, it encourages readers to understand their unique brains and harness their strengths in a world not always designed for them.
