Pioneering Women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
One of Anne LaBastille's first books takes the stories of fifteen women who stepped aside from the everyday suburbia to live a unique life and learn about nature in their own manner. The varieties of careers are as varied as the personalities of the women themselves. From river guides and biologists to ecologists and log home builders, the author lives with these women in their environment and describes their loves, fears and accomplishments. It is a tale for both men and women. Although it may seemed slightly dated now, when women are doing anything with no raised eyebrows, it takes on a special meaning when read with the reminder that this was the sixties and seventies. Ms. LaBastille did try to write a follow-up with each of these women, but only half were able to be located. Another sign of the fierce but gentle individuality of these modern pioneering women.
A Good Book

I have purchased numerous (10+) copies of this book and given it to students (both male & female) majoring in forest resources management. I want them to have both career and adventure and this book presents numerous examples of both. Thanks Anne.
