Bryder's highest profile work has been in relation to the
Cartwright Inquiry into the 'unfortunate experiment'. Her 2009 book A History of the 'Unfortunate Experiment' at National Women's Hospital did not support one of the inquiry's central findings (that there had been a prospective study) and attracted a great deal of attention in academia

[9] and in the popular press.

[17] In 2019 and 2020 studies were published in Britain validating her original findings.
