Description
In the drawing rooms of Gilded Age New York, Rosalie Edge was known as a woman of impeccable social standing. But beneath the silk and lace beat the heart of a militant reformer. The Iron Lady of the Woods tells the electrifying story of the woman who walked away from the comforts of high society to become the most formidable defender the American wilderness has ever known. Before the modern environmental movement had a name, Rosalie Edge was already on the front lines. Utilizing the tactical brilliance she honed as a suffragist, she launched a radical crusade that would dismantle the complacency of the conservation establishment. From her historic takeover and reform of the Audubon Society to the dramatic purchase of a Pennsylvania ridge to stop the slaughter of hawks, Edge proved that one person with an unwavering conscience could move mountains. As the founder of the world's first sanctuary for birds of prey and a pivotal mentor to Rachel Carson, Rosalie Edge was the primary architect of modern ecological advocacy. She was the woman who taught a nation that no species is vermin and that the integrity of the wild is a civil right for all living things. This is the definitive biography of a true pioneer-a woman who was often hated by those in power, but whose voice still echoes in the silence of our National Parks and the sweep of every raptor across the sky. The Iron Lady of the Woods is a sweeping exploration of power, persistence, and the birth of the environmental conscience. It is the story of a woman who refused to be silenced, ensuring that the American wilderness would remain wild for generations to come. Approx. 150 pages, 35900 word count
