Marjorie Harris Carr (1915-1997) is best known for leading the fight against the US Army Corps of Engineers' Cross Florida Barge Canal. In this first full-length biography, Peggy Macdonald corrects many long-held misapprehensions about the self-described "housewife from Micanopy", who along with her husband, Archie Carr, a pioneering conservation biologist, struggled to balance career and family.
