Hay, Amy M. (Author)
Little doubt remains about the influence of Rachel Car-son's Silent Spring in changing the consciousness of not just Americans, but citizens around the world, regarding the relationship between human beings and the natural world. Less has been done about the specific ways Carson's book inspired individual activists to continue challenging pesticide policy within the United States in the decades after the book's publication. The stories of three western women fighting the use of Agent Orange herbicides -- the phenoxy herbicides 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T -- illustrate the influence and mixed success of environ-mental activism after Silent Spring.
