"What I knew of the environmental disaster was taken from books, newspaper and magazine articles and, above all, the courageous first-person accounts by a housewife/mother/survivor of the Love Canal disaster, Lois Marie Gibbs. Her Love Canal: My Story appeared in 1982, after a lengthy siege of legal activism on the part of Mrs. Gibbs and others. How brave they were, to combat such high-placed, wealthy, and conscienceless adversaries!"
— Joyce Carol Oates, author of The Falls, The Tattooed Girl, and Little Bird of Heaven
