Grreen Grrls: Estrogen Infuses the Movement
A review of ‘Women Pioneers for the Environment’ by Mary Jo Breton 0

Her bold antics and those of a band of like-minded peaceful protestors stalled construction of the highway for six months, but ultimately their campaign failed. Out of the ashes of Must's effort, however, rose a tide of public anger that swelled Britain's anti-road movement and forced the DOT to dramatically scale back its building plans and reassess transportation policy throughout the country.
