Why we picked this
Texas conservation history told through the women who did the work. Bristol's research surfaces stories that mainstream environmental history has largely ignored.
Jennifer Bristol is a birding expert and author whose Wild Women for Good profiles a century and a half of Texas women who stepped forward to protect the state’s natural heritage. These are stories that mainstream environmental history has largely overlooked — rural and urban women whose conservation work shaped Texas landscapes long before environmentalism became a movement.
