Remembering Barbara Seaman
We are sad to report that Barbara Seaman, founder of the National Women's Health Network, noted feminist, women's health activist, and author, died this morning. Seaman's life and work leave much to be celebrated, as she was a tireless advocate for informed consent and exposing information on hormonal medications, including publication of the breakthrough 1969 book "The Doctors' Case against the Pill," which led to Congressional hearings on oral contraception and ultimately to the first safety warning on the drug.
Barbara's Memorial Service will take place on Thursday March 6th, 2008 at the Riverside Memorial Chapel. 180 West 76th St NYC at 5:30pm.
