History Spotlight The Pill Hearings

The 1970 Senate Pill Hearings (based on the investigative reporting of a pioneering journalist, Barbara Seaman) brought women’s voices to Congress for the first time.

Learn more about our history

We advocate for health policies that reflect the full diversity of women’s lives.

We relate the Network with trust and advocacy. That ‘home’ feeling. It’s a family. What is most important is that it continues.

- Ronna and Rena, NWHN Members

Having an independent voice whose sole constituent is women is important.  The Network makes sure that women’s stories, issues, and health concerns are addressed both at a grassroots level and through federal policy. It’s trustworthy, it’s unapologetic, and industry doesn’t silence the NWHN.
 

- Caila Brander, Former NWHN Fellow

"You tell things the way they are.  It's the truth & not the hype.  You're not influenced by advertisers, so you can speak the truth."
 

- ER, in South Dakota

NWHN is the only source I trust for women's health. I know that the Network will be a trusted source if something's good or not so good. Once things are well-tested there are lots of sources of good information, but when something is new, there's no one else I would turn to.
