NEW YORK, March 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Women Rising, an 11x award-winning women's empowerment and media company founded by autoimmune-diagnosed, 15x award-winning documentary filmmaker, Sara Hirsh Bordo, is releasing findings from Autoimmunity and the "Good Girls" ™  the first-ever sociological survey exploring the intersection between empowerment and autoimmunity in American women. Defined as the immune system at war with itself by not being able to distinguish between the "good" and the "bad" cells and tissues, autoimmune diseases are afflicting millions.  According to the Autoimmune Association, there are over 100 autoimmune diseases on record, none with known cures, and women consistently receive 80% percent of the total diagnoses.

Key Points: 
  • "During a relapse of my Hashimoto's disease in 2019, I began researching my own health and empowerment origin stories, and patterns emerged," says Sara Hirsh Bordo, Women Rising founder.
  • "Many of us were raised as "good girls," conditioned to suppress and betray our own needs for the good of others.
  • I wanted to study empowerment, and the lack thereof, as a potential missing modality in women's health— in hopes of supporting other women like me."
  • In Autoimmunity and the "Good Girls" ™ out of total women screened, nearly a quarter of the 2,525 had been diagnosed with at least one autoimmune disease.
