Wolf, Hazel
▪ 2001

      Canadian-born American environmentalist (b. March 10, 1898, Victoria, B.C.—d. Jan. 19, 2000, Port Angeles, Wash.), was a longtime advocate for environmental causes. After moving to the U.S. from Canada in 1923, she worked on behalf of the rights of immigrants and became a member of the Communist Party (she left the party during World War II); she later was involved in struggles over civil rights and labour issues. Her environmental activism began in the early 1960s, after she had joined the National Audubon Society, and she became a noted speaker. She was profiled in Studs Terkel's book Coming of Age: The Story of Our Century by Those Who've Lived It (1995), and in 1997 she was awarded the National Audubon Society's Medal of Excellence.
