The Greatest Experiment Ever Performed on Women

Barbara Caruso approaches this alarming in-depth look at women's health with an energetic tone that sounds a clarion for women. While the writing here is at times dry, the content provides a glimpse into the pharmaceutical industry and the ways companies have been less than forthright about women's health issues. Caruso reads with a scholarly yet motherly tone as she recounts Seaman's exposé of the estrogen industry. Caruso conveys a professionalism befitting Seaman's years as a women's health advocate, yet manages to capture the compassion and alarm Seaman expresses for the women who have not been properly served by the health industry. For anyone concerned about hormone replacement or women's health issues, Seaman's work will be a welcome resource. H.L.S. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
