An early leader in the Audubon movement, her Birdcraft: A Field Book of Two Hundred Song, Game, and Water Birds, was a prototype of the modern field guide to birds for a popular audience. This title, her first garden novel, was written anonymously allowing her to speak more freely. It tells the story of Barbara, married to a landscape architect, and her gardenmaking in a small New England village rapidly being transformed into an exclusive suburb. It addresses the themes of suburbanization, women's increasing role in the garden, popular plants of the time, and in particular, the motivation behind a great growth of garden interest around at 1900.
