Women and Nature by Glenda Riley

A study of women conservationists that provides a needed corrective to the male-dominated historiography of environmental studies.
"A thoughtful and informative portrait of women's roles in western conservation and environmentalism.. It demands reevaluation of popular assumptions about women and western landscapes, and about environmental history... Women and Nature provides a solid foundation for further research on women and natural resources in the West... Especially valuable, making visible the untold story of women's influence at the grassroots level."-Dorothy C. Garceau, New Mexico Historical Review New Mexico Historical Review
