Men generally dominated the study of the outdoors in the late eighteenth through the early twentieth centuries. But there were women in the field too. Marcia Myers Bonta gives biographies of twenty-five of these women naturalists in this well detailed study.
Bonta divides the women by the subject of their study: naturalists, botanists, entomologists, ornithologists, and ecologists. She also describes a group of women that she considers pioneers, showing them in all their individuality, as field persons, as professionals, and as friends with others in their field.
Marcia Myers Bonta has written nine books and has published extensively in American Horticulturist and Bird Watcher's Digest, and many other magazines and journals. She lives in Tyrone, Pennsylvania.
