2009 Theme:
Women Taking the Lead to Save our Planet

In 2009, we are honoring women who have taken the lead in the environmental or "green" movement. The National Women's History Project is featuring Rachel Carson, the founder of the contemporary environmental movement, as the iconic model of the theme. Rachel Carson's work provides an admirable model for comparison. The 2009 Honorees are scientists, engineers, business leaders, writers, filmmakers, conservationists, teachers, community organizers, religious or workplace leaders or others whose lives show exceptional vision and leadership to save our planet.
