Barbara Seaman



Seaman is a women’s health activist who, through persistent investigative journalism, reporting, and social organizing, has brought about significant changes in the relationship between the medical and pharmaceutical establishments and women in America. As an activist, she introduced the concepts of informed consent, full disclosure, and sexism in healthcare, provoked a US Senate hearing, established the [National Women's Health Network](a network which advocates for women's health advancement and does not accept funding from pharmaceutical companies), and authored a number of critical books and articles – some of which caused her to be fired, blacklisted, or censored.
