Mira Lloyd Dock and the Progressive Era Conservation Movement

摘要

Rimby's work on Mira Lloyd Dock and the Progressive Era conservation movement is a long-needed update to previous scholars' work on women's contributions to Progressive Era conservation. While ostensibly a biographical work, it succeeds at accomplishing much more: the presentation of a thoroughly researched twenty-first-century scholarly work on the importance of women during this era. Importantly, it teases out all the strands of a very complex social movement through its analysis of the work of a single female individual.
