DESCRIPTION:Belle Benchley was hired out of desperation, but she led with defiance. She
navigated the San Diego Zoo through the brink of bankruptcy to become the
world's first female zoo director and her legacy changed the world. An
outsider to the scientific establishment, she rejected Victorian cages and
pioneered the open-air, moated enclosures we see in modern zoos today. She
spent her days in the trenches, developing an intuitive sense for animal
care that often baffled trained veterinarians. First, she saved the
institution from collapse, then she built it into a global icon of
conservation history.
