A historian shows how girls who found self-understanding in the natural world became women who changed America.
What The Reviewers Say
Jill Watts,
The New York Times Book Review
A thoroughly absorbing exploration of the formative role that nature has played in American women’s lives.
Alexis Burling,
San Francisco Chronicle
Miles clearly knows her stuff and writes with a palpable and contagious passion for her subject. Still, the results are a mixed bag. Some chapters vibrate with insight and are chock-full of well-plotted research and perceptive point-to-point conclusions.
