Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring spawned a campaign to ban DDT in the United States. In 1972, environmental groups, inspired largely by Carson and using many of her arguments, had secured a phase-out of DDT in the U.S. Carson's efforts also helped spawn the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as well as much of the modern environmental movement in the U.S., and she strongly affected the emerging eco-feminist philosophy.
