Trade Review
Marilyn Ogilvie's compelling biography of ornithologist and ethologist Margaret Morse Nice draws from a rich array of sources. For the Birds provides readers with a comprehensive, sympathetic, and analytical account of how one woman sustained her scientific work during the disappointing years of the post-Progressive Era, prior to the expanding professional opportunities for women in the 1970s."" - Sally Gregory Kohlstedt, author of Teaching Children Science: Hands-On Nature Study in North America, 1890‒1930
