Gives longoverdue recognition to the women who shaped the states environmental movement and saved Floridas water, land, and quality of life from worse destruction.Cynthia Barnett, author of Blue Revolution: Unmaking Americas Water CrisisHighlights the overlooked role of women in Floridas environmental leadership. This is an exciting, important book.Buddy MacKay, former governor of FloridaA brilliant exposition of the varied types of talent it takes to fight the battles, wars and votes which must be undertaken if even a fraction of Floridas heritage is to be saved.Victoria Tschinkel, vice chairperson, 1000 Friends of FloridaShows how passionate, strong minded, independent women did what was necessary to change the hearts and minds of policy makers to keep our air and water healthy.Clay Henderson, former president, Florida Audubon SocietyPooles portraits of these indomitable women, many of them previously unknown, could well inspire the next generation of activists.Judith G. Poucher, author of State of Defiance: Challenging the Johns Committees Assault on Civil LibertiesFlorida is renowned for its beautiful beaches, natural springs, and subtropical wilderness, but it is widely joked that the official bird should be the construction crane. Dredgeandfill projects, air pollution, and pesticides spread so uncontrollably during the twentieth century that they sparked an environmental movement within the state, and those who led the fight were very often women.Saving Florida reveals how womens clubs prompted legislation to establish Floridas first state park, which became the core of Everglades National Park, in 1916before women even had the right to vote. It tells the story of Doris Leeper, who convinced her community and federal government to protect a 24mile stretch of sandy beach that is now the breathtaking Canaveral National Seashore. It remembers Clara Dommerich, who summoned the Whos Who of Central Florida to her living room for the first meeting of the Florida Audubon Society. And it celebrates the towering environmental legacy of the three Marjories: author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, scientist Marjorie Harris Carr, and journalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas.These and many other women led the fight for unprecedented changes in how the Sunshine State reveres its unique natural resources. They set the foundation for this centurys environmental agenda, which came to include the idea of sustainable development. As a collective force they forever altered how others saw womens roles in society.
