Marjory Stoneman Douglas E V E R G L A D E S N A T I O N A L P A R K Long before scientists became alarmed ... Mrs. Douglas was railing at officials for destroying wetlands. Marjory Stoneman Douglas Defender of the Everglades Marjory Stoneman Douglas, born April 7, 1890 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, graduated from Wellesley with straight A's with the elected honor of "Class Orator." That title proved to be prophetic. In 1915, following a brief and calamitous marriage, she arrived in Miami, working for her father at the Miami Herald . She worked first as a society reporter, then as an editorial page columnist, and later established herself as a writer of note. Here she took on the fight for feminism, racial justice, and conservation long before these causes became popular. She was ahead of her time in recognizing her need for independence and solitude, yet never considered herself entirely a feminist, saying: "I'd like to hear less talk about men and women and more talk about citizens."

Marjory Stoneman Douglas Week of December 11, 2000 This week President Clinton signed the $8 billion Everglades Restoration Act into law. That made it appropriate for Wellesley College to remember Marjory Stoneman Douglas '12, who spearheaded the effort to save the "River of Grass." Douglas received many awards and tributes for her work. We draw special attention to two. In 1977 she received a Wellesley College Alumnae Achievement Award. And in 1993, at the age of 103, she was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom . Its citation said, "An extraordinary woman who has devoted her long life to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the Everglades, and to the cause of equal rights for all Americans, Marjory Stoneman Douglas personifies passionate commitment. Her crusade to preserve and restore the Everglades has enhanced our Nation's respect for our precious environment, reminding all of us of nature's delicate balance. Grateful Americans honor the "Grandmother of the Glades" by following her splendid example in safeguarding America's beauty and splendor for generations to come." Mrs. Douglas donated her Medal to Freedom to Wellesley College. Douglas was born in 1890 in Minneapolis. After her parents separated, Marjory and her mother lived with her mother's family in Taunton, Massachusetts. Marjory said, "I wanted to go to a good college, and my mind was set on Wellesley. Wellesley was the nearest good college in those days and I chose it even though my good friends were going elsewhere." In her autobiography

4. Plant Talk Profile: Marjory Stoneman Douglas Marjory Stoneman Douglas died on 14 May 1998 at her home in Miami, at the astoundingage of 108. Marjory Stoneman Douglas was a truly remarkable campaigner. http://www.plant-talk.org/Pages/16dougls.html

Like Rudyard Kipling, Douglas had a vivid sense of history, describing arrogant, armoured conquistadores, with crossbows and arquebusses, confronting the fierce but dignified native people of Florida in their feathers and pearls. She recounts the spirited resistance of these same people, and escaped slaves, only 150 years ago, as the government tried to tame and settle the Everglades. And she writes of how the modern world eroded a unique landscape. JOHN AKEROYD Reproduced from Plant Talk No.16 (January 1999) Home Aims Latest issue Past issues ... Resources

In 1947, she helped lead the successful push to have nearly 1.6 million acres designated as Everglades National Park.

These opening words from Marjory Stoneman Douglas' immortal book "Everglades: River of Grass" crystallize the uniqueness of the Everglades. These words could also be used to describe Marjory herself, who is as rare and unique as the Everglades she has worked so hard to protect.

Her name is synonymous with the Everglades for her tireless, ground-breaking efforts to protect this watery region - a region her adversaries considered a worthless swamp. Douglas was perhaps most known for her best-selling book, The Everglades: River of Grass. First published in 1947, River of Grass awakened residents and visitors to the notion of the Everglades as a vast, flowing river. Her descriptive, fluid prose portrays the strange beauty of the region and diversity of its wildlife; recounts the history of the native peoples, explorers, and conquerors who traveled here; explains its importance as the region's watershed; and addresses modern civilization's impact on this fragile ecosystem.

HOME Reference Women Leaders : DOUGLAS Women Environmental Leaders Marjory Stoneman Douglas (1890-1998) Photo courtesy of Florida State Archives Displaying ultimate enthusiasm for the efforts of social consciousness in Florida, Ms. Douglas was the voice of this great state up until her recent death. In large part, she raised awareness of the need for environmental conservation efforts, especially with regards to the Florida Everglades. Her best known book, The Everglades: River of Grass, published in 1947, educated the public about this unique Florida river ecosystem and dispelled the idea that it was merely a useless swamp. Bookcover photos courtesy of Pineapple Press, Inc. Marjory Stoneman Douglas lived a simplistic but inexhaustible life. Married in 1914 and divorced in 1917, she moved into a small cottage in Coconut Grove and lived alone with her cats for the rest of her life. She was an avid reader, had an incredible memory spanning over a century, never owned a car, never learned to drive, and often ate out because of her dislike for cooking. Ms. Douglas was admired by many; her efforts for the environment and for her fellow Floridians should serve to exemplify the amazing power that a single person is capable of possessing.

Everglades Biographies Marjory Stoneman Douglas Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born April 7, 1890 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was raised in Taunton, Massachusetts after the divorce of her parents. Marjory attended the public schools in Taunton, and Wellesley College, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she majored in English composition, graduating in 1912 with an A.B. degree. After her mother's death and the end of her brief marriage, Douglas moved to Miami to work with her father, Frank Stoneman, then the editor of The Miami Herald . Douglas left the Herald in 1923, after many years working on The Galley , a daily column that always included a poem. As an assistant editor on the paper, Douglas also wrote editorials urging protection and development of Florida's unique regional character in the face of rapid commercial development. After leaving the paper, she devoted herself to her literary career, writing of short stories, 40 of which were published in the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines between 1923 and 1938, many winning O.

Mini-Unit Famous Person : Marjory Stoneman Douglas Related Topics :The Everglades, The Water Cycle, Conservation, Ecosystems, National Parks. Grade Level Author: Georgiann Smith Marjory Stoneman Douglas Menu Background Everglades National Park The Water Cycle References ... Background In 1975, Marjory Stoneman Douglas was named Conservationist of the year by the Florida Audubon Society for more than 60 years of dedicated work of informing people of the importance of the Florida Everglades and also for her efforts to conserve, protect and restore the Everglades. She was awarded with the same honor by the Florida Wildlife Federation a year later. For Marjory Stoneman Douglas, though, the public's concern about the threatened Everglades' ecosystem was the best reward. Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born on April 7, 1890. When Marjory was four, she went with her parents on a trip to Florida. She would always remember "the marvelous light, the wonderful white tropic light." Marjory had a rough childhood in which she moved often from state to state in order for her father to find work. Her parents divorced and she spent most of her childhood with her mother. To escape her troubled household she would read. She loved books and also began to write stories of her own. In the fall of 1908, Marjory left home to attend Wellesley College, a women's college near Boston. She quickly took an interest in continuing her writing and found a new interest in public speaking. In 1911, during her third year at Wellesley, Marjory and some of her friends formed a club to support the voting rights of women. (Until 1920, only men could vote.) When asked why she formed the club Marjory explained, "You have to stand up for some things in this world."
