"A Fable for Tomorrow"

Rachel Carson was the author who wrote the “A Fable for Tomorrow”. She was attacked by many for her controversial book called “Silent Spring”. In the book "Silent Spring" she talks about the things that are affecting the environment such as chemicals and pesticides. One of the attacks against her was that she wasn't a biochemist meaning that she was lost about what she was saying. She even was denominated as “hysterical woman who is unqualified as a scientist". Her main purpose of writing this book was to let people know that we should try to use fewer chemicals. Unfortunately, she died without seeing the impact of her good work. In my opinion, I think that it was not fair the way she was attacked in that way. Everybody has the right to express their feelings.
