Chris Williamson mentioned ✓ High confidence
"Rachel Carson, she wrote that book, Silent Spring, 1962. It's about DDT, environmental epidemics. She gets mocked by scientists, castigated by everybody, but her work led to the banning of DDT."

Attribution: Williamson mentions the book as a positive example of someone being right early about environmental issues
