Description
Rachel Carson was born on May 27, 1907 in Springdale, PA. Carson was a marine biologist and conservationist whose gift for writing focused unprecedented public awareness on environmental issues. In the face of withering attacks from chemical companies and some in government, her books and publications, especially Silent Spring (1962), courageously shed light on the public health and ecological dangers of pesticides. This increased awareness led to the ban on DDT and eventually the establishment of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Her efforts are more broadly credited with advancing the global environmental movement. Carson died from complications due to breast cancer on April 14, 1964.
