-- Carol Ruckdeschel, a freelance naturalist who guided then-governor Jimmy Carter down Georgia's wild Chattahoochee River
-- Nicole Duplaix, leader of the World Wildlife Fund's team monitoring the illegal endangered-species trade
-- Eugenie Clark, the famous "shark lady" of marine biology
LaBastille also examines the factors that have alienated women from wilderness in the past,
