Be inspired by the author of "Silent Spring," one of the most controversial and consequential books in American history. This event will be held virtually on Zoom.
Rachel Carson earned a reputation for her lyrical works celebrating the beauty, mystery, and healing power of nature. Then she risked it all by writing Silent Spring (1962), alerting the public to the injudicious use of pesticides and its harmful effects on human health and nature. Carson's influence transcends this issue and extends to today. She stimulated the rise of the environmental movement and the passage of landmark laws such as the Endangered Species Act. The author of Silent Spring is an inspiring heroine for all seasons.
