both jane goodall and jane jacobs wentac because they thout that is how they would separate themselves. maybe the most unbelievable, while in many states if they were matched clothing, she could be arrested. there was a story i read where a woman walked into the courthouse to pay her husband's parking ticket and was ordered out because she was wearing pants. i thought how is it that these outsiders were able to make inroads and change the way we think about the fields at a time when no one is listening to women so that became the kind of connective tissue i was looking for as i wasas researching becae all along they kept having these repetitive patterns. like a lot of people i wasn't sure if i had read silent springs. when i read it i realized this is difficult stuff and she made it so eloquent that this bad news is being delivered in a way that you are able to get through it. then i realized it's because the same language rachel carson is using that describe describes tm and jane jacobs said it isn't just what the buildings look like, bu that there was a human ecology and if you knock

rachel carson, jane jacobs, jane goodall and alice waters . and you were taking a different approach and i thought maybe you could tell us how you came to do that. >> the book grew out of the conversation i was having with a friend and i realized that there were four women, each of whom intriguingly similar and adjacent ways had changed the way we thought about the world. carson, the environment. jacob levy, goodall, animals and alice waters, food and eating and what really interested me was that all of them, there were so many parallels in their stories, even though they didn't know each other, they were working in different fields, even in different generations so for instance, all were credentialedoutsiders. they were people who went into the field and literally got their hands literally and figuratively dirty and against all odds prevail . all were green before green had entered our vocabulary. three out of four wrote iconic books that the united social movements. and maybe most interesting, all came to power at a time when women had no vo

thank you know we have the president of tanzania and we had jane goodall and we have been you know none of them have the effect on the audience that william's narrative did and people were laughing and they were crying and. he was just like the heart and soul of ted global in a rishta and i said to myself i have to help him and so what so what you going to do with this do you want to build another one i want. to. riff on four groups the way i thought about things with william was that this kid has a chance he has a chance to go to escape from poverty and to make a difference if you were only exposed to the right educational resources and social support and stuff he could be someone who made an impact on the world i mean and i kind of felt like i know this sounds a little holier than thou i don't mean it that way but but i felt like i had a moral obligation to help them. i didn't even know where malawi was on the african map and of course i knew it was a country in africa but i wasn't even sure and it turns out it's just south of tanzania so was easy to go there. so after my obligatory s
