title: Women and Nature: Saving the "Wild" West (Women in the West)
author:  Glenda Riley 
description: In this thoroughly researched environmental history, Riley (history, Ball State Univ.) shows how between 1870 and 1940 large numbers of women helped forge the American conservation movement. The text examines the ways American women have valued the natural world, whether collecting native plants, evoking the Western landscape in literature or art, conducting preservation campaigns through women's clubs, or simply traveling in the wilderness. Although Riley's treatment lacks the sustained narrative interest of Vera Norwood's seminal Made from This Earth (LJ 2/15/93), it brings special strengths to the study of the feminine relationship to nature: a concentration on women's influence in changing the prevailing cultural perception of the Western wilderness from dangerous and desolate to healthy and inspiring; and information on scores of courageous, dedicated, and often forgotten women. The book's detailed list of sources and extensive endnotes are a valuable resource. Recommended for women's studies and environmental history collections.AJoan S.
