Analyzes the historical reasons behind the traditional alienation of women from the outdoors, showing how the barriers have crumbled in the last few decades
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
ss, as a living and working environment, is still a frontier for women. But more and more women are moving outside the walls of home and office and into careers in the great outdoors -- along step psychologically and physically from traditional female roles.
In this groundbreaking book, wildlife ecologist Anne LaBastille profiles 15 adventurous and accomplished women whose lives and work center on the outdoors. They include:
-- Krissa Johnson, a young designer-builder of log homes
-- Margaret Murie, conservationist and lifetime partner of naturalist Olaus Murie
-- Carol Ruckdeschel, a freelance naturalist who guided then-governor Jimmy Carter down Georgia's wild Chattahoochee River
-- Nicole Duplaix, leader of the World Wildlife Fund's team monitoring the illegal endangered-species trade
-- Eugenie Clark, the famous "shark lady" of marine biology
LaBastille also examines the factors that have alienated women from wilderness in the past,
"With a great deal of insight, the author provides a background of the historical role of women in America's frontier wilderness and contrasts that role with the drastically different and ever-changing involvement of women in the outdoors today."
