Esther Gulick

Esther Gulick (née Kaufmann, 29 March 1911 - 31 May 1995)[1][2] was a pioneer in environmentalism. She, along with Kay Kerr and Sylvia McLaughlin, founded the Save San Francisco Bay Association[3] which eventually became Save The Bay.

She was referred to as an "impractical idealist," a "do-gooder" and a "posy-picker"[4] but she is credited as a leader in environmentalism.
