From Library Journal
Alternative health practitioner Null joins women's health advocate Seaman in a book that is really a combination of two separate works. Null's part offers alternative therapies for a variety of conditions: addiction, diabetes, menopause, etc. These treatments are complementary to rather than replacements for conventional medicine. An appendix contains brief descriptions of the therapies and a directory of practitioners. There is some new material here, but much is from Null's The Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Healing (LJ 1/97). The strongest and most interesting section of For Women Only! is an anthology of 200 classic readings on various aspects of women's health, compiled by Seaman. Authors such as Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Letty Cottin Pogrebin, Germaine Greer, Susan Love, and Naomi Wolfe discuss activism, sexuality, body image, motherhood, and gender medicine. Brief biographies of the contributors appear at the end of the book. This work should have been published as two separate volumes. Still, it is highly recommended for the inspiring history of the women's health movement in Seaman's section. A valuable addition to women's studies, health sciences, academic, and large public library collections.

Null and Seaman assert that to "care for one's body, one needs reliable information, but one also needs the confidence--the discernment--to distinguish the reliable and authentic from the sales pitch." The first 600 pages of this 1500-page tome offer alternative practitioner Null's thoughts on the causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment of conditions and illnesses, from addiction and arthritis to violence and varicose veins. The remainder is Seaman's history of the women's health movement, featuring selections from many familiar feminist writers. Null's is the traditional section, but readers who have seen his PBS programs will correctly anticipate lists of phytochemicals and other nutritional recommendations. Seaman's "Health Empowerment for Women" starts with Elizabeth Cady Stanton and women shamans, then surveys the battles the women's health movement faced, and examines specific "body parts" in terms of how feminism changed attitudes and behaviors. The section "Still Taking Our Bodies Back" covers current movements, such as breast cancer activism, and supplies suggestions on what feminism will look like in the twenty-first century. Mary Carroll
