About this listen

Gene Stratton-Porter (August 17, 1863 - December 6, 1924) was a pioneering American author, naturalist, and wildlife photographer, with a passion for the enchanting birds and moths of the rapidly disappearing wetlands in the lower Great Lakes Basin. The Limberlost and Wildflower Woods of northeastern Indiana served as both her inspiration and laboratory, fueling her stories, novels, essays, photography, and films. Renowned for her artistic talents, Stratton-Porter is celebrated as one of the first female authors to advocate for conservation, particularly championing the Limberlost Swamp. While her heart lay in nature writing, it was her romantic novels that garnered widespread acclaim and provided the means to support her beloved nature studies. In Moths of the Limberlost, she invites readers into her lifelong fascination with moths, sharing delightful anecdotes and beautifully crafted descriptions that capture the intricate details of their life cycles.
