SPEAKER_07: Hello, from Wonder Media Network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is Encyclopedia Womanica. The environment and climate change is one of the biggest and most important political topics around the world. Today, we're talking about a pioneer who jump-started the global environmental movement. This woman changed the way we think about the relationship between the government, industry and the environment. Get pumped, we're talking about Rachel Carson. Rachel Carson was a marine biologist, conservationist and author. Her career began in 1936. After finishing her master's in marine biology at Johns Hopkins, Rachel started working as a marine biologist for the U.S. Bureau of Fisheries. She was soon using her research and experience in the field to write articles about the environment for publications from The Baltimore Sun to The Atlantic Monthly. These weren't dense, scientific pieces, but rather vivid narratives of the underwater world that captured the imaginations of regular people. In July 1937, The Atlantic Monthly accepted an essay from Rachel entitled, The World of Waters. The story took readers on a journey along the ocean floor. It was such a hit that publishing house Simon & Schuster immediately contacted Rachel to see if she'd be interested in expanding the article into a full book. That first book wasn't a big seller, but it served as the precursor to her later hit book, The Sea Around Us. For that second work, which was a vivid life history of the ocean, Rachel won the National Book Award for nonfiction. With her newfound recognition as a gifted writer and the financial security that came with the hit book, Rachel left her job to become a full-time nature writer. She published two more bestselling books that explored the oceans and marine life, completing what she called the Sea Trilogy. By the late 1950s, Rachel turned her attention to environmental conservation. She was especially concerned with issues that she believed were caused by the mass influx of synthetic pesticides, like the compound DDT.
SPEAKER_03: This diabolical weapon of modern science saved millions of humans, but killed billions of insects. The man with this newly discovered force has at long last gained the upper hand in our age-old struggle. The really heavy blow fell only a few months ago.
SPEAKER_07: The result was her paradigm-shifting 1962 book, Silent Spring. Silent Spring documented the harmful effects of pesticides on the environment in a way that was easy for the general public to understand. It was the first time that many Americans understood the connections between business, the environment, and our social and physical wellbeing.
SPEAKER_00: Can anyone believe it is possible to lay down such a barrage of poisons on the surface of the Earth without making it unfit for all life? They should not be called insecticides, but biocides.
SPEAKER_07: Silent Spring was met by fierce opposition from the chemical industry, but it was too powerful to obscure. The book spurred major changes to US pesticide policies, including a full-on ban on the use of DDT and other synthetic pesticides. Silent Spring's impact didn't stop there. As the country moved into the 1960s, people began to think twice about new technologies and whether developments were inherently good. Rachel's book inspired a grassroots movement that eventually led to the creation of a little federal agency we call the Environmental Protection Agency. Silent Spring launched a revolution in the way Americans thought about the world around them. Unfortunately, Rachel was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1957 and lived only two years after Silent Spring was published. She witnessed just the very beginning of the groundswell of support for her views. Rachel Carson had an immense impact on modern society. Tune in tomorrow for the story of another incredible pioneer you wish you'd learned about in school and definitely should have, the first African-American US Congresswoman, Shirley Chisholm. Special thanks to Liz Kaplan, my sister, and the research brain behind this collection of women. Talk to you tomorrow.
