Description: "This collection of biographies describes twelve women conservationists who helped change the way Americans think about the land. These women spoke out, not only for conservation of the landscape, but for environmentally sound living during the twentieth century. From a bird lover to a "back to the land" activist, these women gave early warning of the detrimental effects of neglecting conservation."--BOOK JACKET.
