In the 1930s, what began as a botanical research trip propelled two scientist sisters from Cincinnati into the fight to save the virgin forest of eastern Kentucky, and forever changed the history of ecological science and modern environmental conservation.
Drawing on both storytelling and theatrical traditions, Eastern Kentucky University environmental geographer Dr. Alice Jones explores the lives and careers of the Drs.Annette Braun (1884-1978) and E. Lucy Braun (1889-1971)--the first two women to earn PhDs at the University of Cincinnati.
