Sybil Shainwald, Lawyer Who Fought for Women’s Health, Dies at 96
After taking part in a landmark case against the manufacturers of the synthetic hormone DES, she represented many other victims of harmful drugs and devices.
Quote:Sybil Shainwald, a lawyer who for nearly half a century represented women whose health had been irreparably and often catastrophically harmed by poorly tested drugs and medical devices, died on April 9 at her home in Manhattan. She was 96.
I started quoting from the article for interest, but then realized I was quoting the whole thing. Definitely click through and read about her story.
