  <about><![CDATA[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, &lt;i&gt; The Doctors' Case Against the Pill&lt;/i&gt; (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 at &lt;i&gt;Bride's Magazine, Ladies' Home Journal, Family Circle, &lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Ms. Magazine&lt;/i&gt;.   She also contributed to the &lt;i&gt;New York Times, Washington Post, Newsday, &lt;/i&gt; and others.
