Agnes Miller was one of the earliest leaders of the Women's Liberation Movement in the United States. She was born on a farm in Missouri in 1892. Strangely enough she had a very happy life as a child. She was the only daughter and the youngest child of five. Her parents and her brothers always treated her as their favorite.
In 1896 the family moved to Chicago. Three years later they moved back to St. Louis where Agnes spent the rest of her childhood. She enjoyed her years in school and was an excellent student of mathematics. She was also quite skillful as a painter.
It was when Agnes went off to college that she first learned that women were not treated as equals. She didn't like being treated unequally but she tried not to notice it. After graduating from college she tried to get a job in her major field—physics. She soon found it was almost impossible for a woman.
Agnes spent a full year looking for a job. Finally she gave up in anger. She began writing letters of anger to various newspapers. An editor in New York liked her ideas very much.
He specially liked her style. He asked her to do a series of stories on the difficulties that women had in finding a job. And there she began her great fight for equal rights for women.

During her childhood, Rachel showed an interest in nature and writing. After high school, she enrolled in Pennsylvania State College for women, intending to become a writer. She switched (changed) to biology, however, thereby setting the course of her life. Rachel went to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore for further study and become a member of the zoology staff at the University of Maryland.
For fifteen years, Rachel worked for the United Stated Fish and Wildlife Service, writing and editing publications(出版物). Fortunately, her employer encouraged her to reach a larger audience. Rachel's poetic style of writing in three books about the ocean caught the imagination of the general reader. Her rare talent as both a physical scientist and a gifted writer earned her the National Book Award for The Sea Around Us.
Rachel's next book marked her as a leading conservationist and a crusader(努力消除公害的人) for the preservation of the natural environment. She began writing Silent Spring , knowing that she would be personally attacked and ridiculed (嘲笑). She continued writing despite the ill health that slowed her progress. Upon completing the book, she wrote to a close friend, "I have felt bound by a solemn obligation to do what I could—if I didn't at least try, I could never again be happy in nature. But now I can believe I have at least helped a little. "
Rachel Carson did more than help a little. Although both government and industry opposed her, specialists in public health, the press, and the public itself all supported her fight against the irresponsible use of insecticides ( 杀虫剂 ). Her book eventually led the government to ban DDT.
