Synopsis
When women's hats lavishly bedecked with feathers, wings, and whole dead birds became the rage, Harriet Hemenway and Minna Hall started a movement to stamp out a practice that was making women look absurd--and driving many birds to extinction. This entertaining picture book tells how, in 1896, their grassroots effort became the Massachusetts Audubon Society.
