Barbara Seaman - Feminism, Women's health, Henry J. Rosner, Young People's Socialist League, Pete Seeger

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Barbara Seaman (September 11, 1935 February 27, 2008) was an American author, activist, and journalist, and a principal founder of the women's health feminism movement. Seaman, whose parents, Henry J. Rosner and Sophie Kimels, met at a Young People's Socialist League picnic, grew up in a politically progressive milieu (Pete Seeger sang at her nursery school when she was four years old). Seaman was sensitized at an early age to women's health issues when her aunt Sally died of endometrial cancer in 1959, aged 49. Her aunt's oncologist attributed her death to Premarin, which her gynecologist had prescribed for the relief of menopausal symptoms.
