Description
Author Lindsay H. Metcalf explores how Eunice Newton Foote’s curiosity led her to uncover the heat-trapping properties of carbon dioxide in 1856—and how her advocacy for women’s equality positioned her at the crossroads of science and social change. This dynamic session reveals how Foote used science and activism to challenge the limits placed on women—and how curiosity can spark change today.
Join Lindsay at 3pm for a book signing of Footeprint: Eunice Newton Foote at the Dawn of Climate Science and Women’s Rights at the America's National Park Store.
About the Presenter:
Lindsay H. Metcalf writes nonfiction and poetry for children and young adults while balancing her laptop on her lapdogs, Gus and Margarita. Her books, such as No Voice Too Small and Footeprint: Eunice Newton Foote at the Dawn of Climate Science and Women’s Rights, encourage young readers to use their voices and engage with the world around them. A former journalist, Lindsay lives in rural Kansas downwind of the neighborhood cows with her husband and two teen sons who remain unimpressed with Lindsay’s writing awards—not even the International Literacy Association’s Social Justice Literature Award or the Green Earth Book Award.
