"If you are looking for an uplifting read through the cold dark nights of the winter this book, Female Heroes of Bird Conservation by Rosemary Low, will not only tick the box but will also leave you deeply inspired, impressed and in awe by what can only be described as a group of elite superheroes, women both past and present who have battled copious challenges and obstacles to fore fill their dreams, ambitions and passions. The result of their work as individuals is vast, increasing knowledge and awareness of avian species, husbandry, saving lives and even species from certain extinction. Put them together in a group and the impact their work has had on a global scale is colossal. Some of the stories of these women are beyond extraordinary especially those from the past when times were very different and women were seen as second class citizens, there to serve the man of the house. How they managed to achieve what they did in an age where so many obstacles where stacked against them is truly remarkable." -- Louise Peat, Avicultural Magazine.
