Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

One of the nation’s most tireless health advocates, BARBARA SEAMAN (1935-2008) co-founded the National Women’s Health Network and pioneered a new style of health reporting that focused on patients’ rights. Her groundbreaking investigative book,The Doctor’s Case Against the Pill (1969), prompted Senate hearings in the 1970s that led to a warning label on oral contraceptives and the drastic lowering of estrogen doses due to dangerous health effects. Dedicated to reaching a wide audience, Seaman wrote columns for Brides Magazine, Ladies’ Home Journal, and Ms., inspiring women around the world to take control of their own health. Seaman was a founding advisory board member of and key advisor to Seven Stories Press.

Bestselling health and nutrition author Gary Null is one of America's most popular health and fitness writers. Dr. Null has a Ph.D. in Nutrition and he is the author of dozens of books and hundreds of medical articles. He is also the host of a popular daily radio show on VoiceAmerica. Barbara Seaman has been on the forefront of the women's health movement since the publication of her groundbreaking Doctor's Case Against the Pill in 1969. It exposed the risks of prescribing untested birth control pills to women and was the basis of Senate hearings resulting in the FDA to require informational inserts with oral contraceptives and other medicines.
