A
description of Barbara Seaman from this month's
Women's Health Magazine (www.womenshealthmag.com):
Star Reporter
Getting
fired, blacklisted, and censored never stopped New
York journalist Barbara Seaman from reporting
the truth. In 1969, an early form of the Pill
contained dangerously high levels of synthetic
hormones. Seaman, then 34, exposed the risks
in her book The Doctors' Case Against the Pill.
It sparked a U.S. Senate hearing that mandated
warning labels on oral contraceptives — the first of
any prescription drug to carry them. |
