In Conversation With Nicole Notar: Endometriosis, Advocacy, and the Workplace

But for millions of women, it creates a hidden productivity tax - one workplaces are not currently designed to account for, and it imposes a cost that falls almost entirely on them - in lost income, missed opportunities, and careers quietly derailed. Nicole Notar is part of a growing movement pushing that conversation into the open in the United States.
