With the ardent tone of a close friend, Barbara Seaman draws on forty years of journalistic research to expose the "menopause industry" and shows how estrogen therapy often causes more problems—including breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke—than it cures. The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women tracks the well-intentioned discovery of synthetic estrogen through the unconscionable and misleading promotion of a dangerous drug.

One of the most tireless health advocates, Barbara Seaman (1935-2008) was co-founder of the National Women's Health Network, and a pioneer in a new style of health reporting that focused on patient rights. Her groundbreaking investigative book,The Doctors' Case Against the Pill(1969), prompted Senate hearings in 1970 that led to a warning label on oral contraceptives and the drastic lowering of estrogen doses due to dangerous health effects. Well received by a mass audience, Seaman was a columnist and contributing editor atBride's Magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, Family Circle,andMs. Magazine. She also contributed to theNew York Times, Washington Post, Newsday,and others.Books* The Doctor's Case Against the Pill (1969)* Free and Female (1972)* Women and the Crisis in Sex Hormones (1977)(with Gideon Seaman, M.D.)* Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann (1987)* The Greatest Experiment ever Performed on Women: Exploding the Estrogen Myth (2003)* For Women Only: Your Guide to Health Empowerment with Gary Null (2000).Contributor to many books, including:* Career and Motherhood (1979)* Rooms with No View (1974)* Women and Men (1975)* Seizing our Bodies (1978)Contributor to several plays and documentaries, including:* I am a Woman (1972)* Taking Our Bodies Back (1974)* The American Experience Presents the Pill (2003)
