warned of the health dangers associated with the high levels of estrogen contained in early oral contraceptives and questioned the safety of hormone-replacement therapy for postmenopausal women in the groundbreaking books, respectively, The Doctors' Case Against the Pill (1969) and The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women (2003). Seaman was a columnist for such magazines as Brides and Ladies' Home Journal, and she served as an editor for Family Circle. Besides bringing women's health issues to the fore through her writings, she cofounded (1975) the National Women's Health Network, an advocacy group in Washington, D.C. Some of her other books include Free and Female: The Sex Life of the Contemporary Woman (1972), Women and the Crisis in Sex Hormones (1977), and the biographical Lovely Me: The Life of Jacqueline Susann (1987).
