"Visionary Women: How Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall, and Alice Waters Changed Our World" by Andrea Barnet
Andrea Barnet, the author of “Visionary Women: How Rachel Carson, Jane Jacobs, Jane Goodall and Alice Waters Changed Our World,” will be the guest speaker at the Westhampton Garden Club’s opening meeting on Monday, April 7, at 1 p.m.
Barnet has been a contributor to The New York Times for 25 years, as well as Smithsonian Magazine, Harper’s Bazaar and The Toronto Globe and Mail, among others.
“Visionary Women” was a finalist for the 2019 PEN/Jacqueline Bograd Weld Award for Biography.
“With a passion for truth and perseverance that defied expectations, these four brilliant women chose to break with convention,” the club stated. “Together, their efforts would ignite the environmental movement, showing what one person speaking truth to power can do. Andrea will discuss two of these remarkable visionaries — Rachel Carson and Jane Goodall — the striking parallels in their ideas, and the ongoing relevance of their compassionate visions.”
