Health Disparities in Women: paper topics?

I need to write a paper on health disparities in women for nursing school. Does anyone have more a more specific topic I could write about? It is only supposed to be 2 pages so I feel the topic "health disparities in women" is too broad for such a short paper.

Lately I've been reading about how heart attacks present uniquely (i.e. without "cardinal" signs) in women. You may be able to cover two pages on that topic; perhaps even how youngish women who feel they are having cardiac symptoms are "dismissed" by practitioners as being too young, having panic attacks, or GI upset, etc.

How about nurses who have no health insurance? There are many of us I'm sure. Ridiculous.I recently left Florida to return to Canada where I can have health insurance.

You could find a topic about how the many reasons women tend to live longer than men. Women statistically have better health habits than men. Not to say that ladies don't go around joyriding stolen cars while drunk and crashing into trees, but males tend to do these things more often.

How about how drug trials are usually only done on men, but when the drug receives approval it is approved for women as well.The reasoning? Because women's hormones fluctuate and it can affect the outcome of the study on the drug's effectiveness. Hmmm, well isn't that an excellent reason for them to study how the drug works on women?!
