Book Synopsis
Revisits the activism of women citizens in preserving national parks and examines how far the inclusion of career women in the Park Service has progressed. This work discusses how staff can no longer fulfill the Park Service mission without outside support. This reality and the acceptance of women as leaders has affected Park Service culture.

Trade Review
Praise for the first edition: ""Kaufman used extensive sources from women's, environmental, and national park history; she interviewed almost four hundred women... She analyzes effectively the ways in which various women dealt with the male-defined Park Service culture, contemporary patterns of service in which women are superintendents primarily in small to medium sized historic parks, problems of dual-career marriages, and ways in which women's perspectives and values, which often differ from those of men, helped shape today's national parks."" -- Sylvia W McGrath, H-Net, the Popular Culture and the American Culture Associations.
