I found this article very interesting because harmful pesticides is a problem still dealt with today. I was surprised to see that she was the driving force behind getting changes made. I was also surprised to see how many people seemed to take her word over all the heads of the pesticide companies especially since it dealt with science and that was still seen as a man's field. It was interesting to see how popular her book became and how willing she was to put herself in the spotlight at a time when women were supposed to be in the home. - Christine W. | I found this article very interesting because harmful pesticides is a problem still dealt with today.

| + | I agree with Kendall, Rachel Carson seemed to really be one step ahead of the curve when it came to environmental science. The way she defended herself and her argument blew my mind. You could tell she was well educated and that she knew what she was talking about. She really backed up her argument and made a valid case, and I feel like that's a pretty big step for women. She, in my opinion, proved that educated women deserve respect and made a case, whether she meant to or not, that educated women were a force to be reckoned with. She really caused the American population to stop and take a look around because her argument lasted a lifetime. -Kelly Wuyscik | ||
