Cheryl Lindsey Seelhoff (June 3, 1952) is the former editor of Gentle Spirit magazine, a homeschooling and homesteading magazine, published between 1989 and 2001, that reached a readership of approximately 35,000 before being forced from the marketplace in a well-publicized anti-trust lawsuit, Seelhoff v. Welch. Seelhoff's high profile in Christian homeschooling, and the details of the case which was decided in Seelhoff's favor, was closely watched by the U.S. homeschooling movement as a battle for its control between conservative Christian and independent homeschoolers. . A former ardent Quiverfull proponent and birth-mother of eleven children, she has continued as a writer, and under the pseudonym "Heart" a highly read blogger, devoted to radical feminist causes. .

Homeschool Anti-Trust lawsuit
In 1997, Seelhoff filed an antitrust lawsuit against eight conservative Christian individuals and organizations, including competing homeschooling guru Mary Pride, represented with the assistance of the Home School Legal Defense Association. The case went to trial in September 1998 and a unanimous jury found in Seelhoff's favor, awarding her in excess of $1 million (Pride herself settled out-of court). The lawsuit has come to be known in the homeschooling community as the "Homeschooling's Anti-Trust Case."

In 2001 Seelhoff created a radical feminist website and began writing and publishing feminist articles. In 2006 Seelhoff served as guest editor at the invitation of the collective of the feminist newsjournal Off Our Backs and has continued to write for Off Our Backs and other publications since that time. In June of 2008, Seelhoff's defiance of the Religious Right was the subject of an internationally syndicated television program entitled "Quiverfull: Shunned from God's Army."
