Wild Women for Good Book Signing and Panel Discussion

Attend a panel discussion and book signing at Front Street Books on April 25th from 1 – 3 PM! Meet conservationists Madge Lindsay, Cecilia Riley, Pamela Nelson Harte, and Carolyn Ohl, as well as author Jennifer Bristol—and get her newest book, Wild Women for Good, signed at the end of the panel discussion!

Women have been shaping the conservation movement in Texas since the nineteenth century, though their stories are rarely told. Women played an invaluable role in the establishment of parks, protection of wildlife, developing policies that value nature, and defending communities against pollution and destruction of habitat. Their efforts enriched and reinforced the natural heritage of Texas. Wild Women for Good: Stories of Conservation in Texas celebrates those who dared to step forward to make a difference and to tell the complex story of conservation in the Lone Star state.

Jennifer Bristol covers more than sixty individuals and groups: environmental policy makers, famous first ladies, early land trusts champions, and educators. These are women whose stories are as integral to the state’s history as the natural landscapes they worked to preserve.
