Everglades Biographies Marjory Stoneman Douglas Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born April 7, 1890 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She was raised in Taunton, Massachusetts after the divorce of her parents. Marjory attended the public schools in Taunton, and Wellesley College, in Wellesley, Massachusetts, where she majored in English composition, graduating in 1912 with an A.B. degree. After her mother's death and the end of her brief marriage, Douglas moved to Miami to work with her father, Frank Stoneman, then the editor of The Miami Herald . Douglas left the Herald in 1923, after many years working on The Galley , a daily column that always included a poem. As an assistant editor on the paper, Douglas also wrote editorials urging protection and development of Florida's unique regional character in the face of rapid commercial development. After leaving the paper, she devoted herself to her literary career, writing of short stories, 40 of which were published in the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines between 1923 and 1938, many winning O. Henry and other awards. In 1947, Douglas published

The Collections Marjory Stoneman Douglas Papers (University of Miami) The Marjory Stoneman Douglas Papers document the life and work of an extraordinary woman. Marjory Stoneman Douglas, author and environmental activist, is the author of River of Grass, the first scholarly treatise of the Everglades as a unique environmental ecosystem. This landmark book marks the beginning of her work devoted to the preservation and restoration of the Everglades. Douglas's life in South Florida and her career of writing have had a deep and continuing impact on the community. She founded the Friends of the Library at the University of Miami and had close ties with the Friends of the Everglades, an organization working to promote public awareness and to gain state support toward the preservation of the Everglades. Florida named its Department of Natural Resources Building after Mrs. Douglas. Description prepared by Ruthanne Vogel, University of Miami.

Marjory Stoneman Douglas A Message From Marjory Stoneman Douglas It is indeed a great honor to have the Marjory Stoneman Douglas/Biscayne Nature Center bear my name. The promise that the nature center brings to Dade County is exciting. The north end of Key Biscayne, with its mangroves, sand dunes, fossilized rock reef, ocean, and uplands, offers a unique opportunity to study the wonders of nature. The relationship of one natural system to another is a microcosm of South F1orida's coastal environment. In order to survive, its interdependence must not be obstructed by man. It is my hope that all who come to visit the nature center will leave with a better understanding and appreciation of this area. I wish great success for the MSD/Biscayne Nature Center and look forward to its opening. Sincerely, Marjory Stoneman Douglas "Housed in a hot dog stand" An open letter from Theodora Long, Executive Director

Grade Level Author: Georgiann Smith Marjory Stoneman Douglas Menu Background Everglades National Park The Water Cycle References ... Background In 1975, Marjory Stoneman Douglas was named Conservationist of the year by the Florida Audubon Society for more than 60 years of dedicated work of informing people of the importance of the Florida Everglades and also for her efforts to conserve, protect and restore the Everglades. She was awarded with the same honor by the Florida Wildlife Federation a year later. For Marjory Stoneman Douglas, though, the public's concern about the threatened Everglades' ecosystem was the best reward. Marjory Stoneman Douglas was born on April 7, 1890. When Marjory was four, she went with her parents on a trip to Florida. She would always remember "the marvelous light, the wonderful white tropic light." Marjory had a rough childhood in which she moved often from state to state in order for her father to find work. Her parents divorced and she spent most of her childhood with her mother. To escape her troubled household she would read. She loved books and also began to write stories of her own. In the fall of 1908, Marjory left home to attend Wellesley College, a women's college near Boston. She quickly took an interest in continuing her writing and found a new interest in public speaking. In 1911, during her third year at Wellesley, Marjory and some of her friends formed a club to support the voting rights of women. (Until 1920, only men could vote.) When asked why she formed the club Marjory explained, "You have to stand up for some things in this world."

Douglas was raised in New England and attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts. After working with the Red Cross in Europe during World War I, Douglas moved to Florida in 1915. She became a reporter for her father's newspaper, which would later be renamed the Miami Herald. Stoneman began her editorial career by writing light articles for the society pages, but soon changed to writing hard-hitting editorials on then-controversial subjects including women's rights, racial justice, and conservation. As a newspaper columnist she discovered the cause that would consume her for the remainder of her life: preservation of the Florida Everglades. At a time when many people viewed the Everglades as nothing more that a mosquito-filled swamp, Stoneman wrote articles revealing its beauty and portraying the fascinating plants, birds, animals, fish, reptiles, waterways, and other natural wonders of these vast wetlands. She also joined various committees dedicated to ensuring the survival of the Everglades. In 1947, she published a best-selling book called

The book, one of The Rivers of America Series , continues to be in print, selling more than 10,000 copies a year. Since this title emerged, the area has been popularly known as the "River of Grass" although many new residents do not even know where the name originated. Also, in 1947, Mrs. Douglas helped lead the campaign to have the central core of the Everglades preserved as Everglades National Park. In 1969, Mrs. Douglas spearheaded The Friends of the Everglades, a conservation organization of 5,000 members, a testament to the importance of the Everglades. Membership still costs only one dollar a year. The biggest honor the physically small woman received during her lifetime was this: in December 1997, a 1.3 million-acre wilderness area in the Everglades was dedicated in her name on the Park's fiftieth anniversary.

Presidential Medal of Freedom Recipient Marjory Stoneman Douglas "It's not too late or we wouldn't be working. We simply cannot let everything be destroyed. We can't do that, not if we want water. We've got to take care of what we have." — Marjory Stoneman Douglas, 1990 Marjory Stoneman Douglas This week President Clinton signed the $8 billion Everglades Restoration Act into law. That made it appropriate for Wellesley College to remember Marjory Stoneman Douglas '12, who spearheaded the effort to save the "River of Grass." Douglas received many awards and tributes for her work. We draw special attention to two. In 1977 she received a Wellesley College Alumnae Achievement Award. And in 1993, at the age of 103, she was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom . Its citation said, "An extraordinary woman who has devoted her long life to protecting the fragile ecosystem of the Everglades, and to the cause of equal rights for all Americans, Marjory Stoneman Douglas personifies passionate commitment. Her crusade to preserve and restore the Everglades has enhanced our Nation's respect for our precious environment, reminding all of us of nature's delicate balance. Grateful Americans honor the "Grandmother of the Glades" by following her splendid example in safeguarding America's beauty and splendor for generations to come." Mrs. Douglas donated her Medal of Freedom to Wellesley College.

In the 1920s, Douglas wrote editorials urging Everglades protections, and in the 1930s and 1940s, she lobbied on the state and federal level for designation of the area as a national park. But it was the publication of her now-famous book, The Everglades: River of Grass , in 1947 that transformed the national consciousness. Later that year, she watched as an honored guest while President Truman dedicated Everglades National Park. Douglas founded the nonprofit group Friends of the Everglades in 1969, and spent many years traveling throughout the state, rallying support for the protection of the south Florida wetland and speaking out against people and industries that threatened it. Well beyond her 100th birthday, Douglas continued her grassroots effort to inform, outrage, and inspire others to action, becoming a beloved symbol of the Everglades she dedicated her life to protecting. In her declining years, she continued to raise awareness of the damage that misguided "replumbing" efforts and unwise development had wrought on the Everglades and challenged the nation to fix these mistakes and return the ecosystem to health. Her challenge has been taken up by the National Wildlife Federation and other groups working in support of an historic effort to protect and restore this unique American treasure.

In large part, she raised awareness of the need for environmental conservation efforts, especially with regards to the Florida Everglades. Her best known book, The Everglades: River of Grass, published in 1947, educated the public about this unique Florida river ecosystem and dispelled the idea that it was merely a useless swamp. Marjory Stoneman Douglas lived a simplistic but inexhaustible life. Married in 1914 and divorced in 1917, she moved into a small cottage in Coconut Grove and lived alone with her cats for the rest of her life. She was an avid reader, had an incredible memory spanning over a century, never owned a car, never learned to drive, and often ate out because of her dislike for cooking. Ms. Douglas was admired by many; her efforts for the environment and for her fellow Floridians should serve to exemplify the amazing power that a single person is capable of possessing.
