The second annual issue of Conservation History, is dedicated to those extraordinary women who built our environmental movement, but are all too often left out of conservation history. This issue recalls the forgotten, famous and infamous women who were wildlife warriors as fierce and effective as their male counterparts, if not as recognized. Our editor, Maria Parisi, has devoted many hours of womanpower to create and shape this collection, which we hope will bring to light some less remembered conservation heroes. From the famous pioneers like Rachel Carson to the equally pioneering Elizabeth Losey and Evelene Spencer, this issue captures the women environmental advocates, scientists, writers and leaders who bequeathed us our present wildlife legacy.
