Etta Lemon by Tessa Boase
Etta Lemon:The Woman Who Saved the Birdsis the story of apioneering conservationist who led the campaign against the slaughter of wild birds for extravagantly feathered hats and coaxed the world to care for birds.
'Boase has done a superb job of linking her personalities, and painting vivid pictures of their life struggles and fighting techniquesThis book is an unputdownable account of a forgotten campaign, and of a group of women who have been hidden from history for too long.'
