  Rosalie Edge (1877-1962) was the first American woman to achieve national renown as a conservationist. The author draws on Edge's personal papers and on interviews with family members and associates to portray an implacable, indomitable personality whose activism earned her the names 'Joan of Arc' and 'hellcat'.
