In Rachel Carson and Her Sisters, Musil fills the gap by placing Carson’s achievements in a wider context, weaving connections from the past through the present. Readers will find new insight into Carson and contemporary figures she influenced…who have historically received less attention. Musil’s respect and enthusiasm for these women is evident throughout the book, making it a deeply engaging and enjoyable read. A valuable addition to scholarship on Rachel Carson, female environmentalists, and the American environmental movement in general. Highly recommended. All academic and general readers. - Choice
