In a field where men have historically been treated as the default and female aspects have been under-researched and under-funded, it’s no surprise that postpartum depression, which happens to 1 in 7 women, hasn’t been treatable with a simple pill—until now.

According to official data analyzed by the Trades Union Congress, there is a 15% gender pay gap that increases after women have children. This adds up to 54 days per year that women work for free.
