Presents an examination of eco-feminism from cross-cultural and multidisciplinary perspectives. This book explores the real-life concerns that have motivated eco-feminism as a grassroots, women-initiated movement around the globe; the appropriateness of eco-feminism to academic and scientific research; and its philosophical implications.
This text has provided me with an excellent grounding in the field of ecofeminism. The selection of essays included provide a nice range of the various ways ecofeminism is represented in the disciplines and used politically in society. The essays themselves are very clearly written and I found their bibliographies especially helpful in leading me to other more specific sources on the particular foci within this umbrella topic. In particular, I really valued the inclusion of the following selections: Ecofeminism through an Anticolonial Framework (interesting critique of general feminism and a nice example of a politically motivated piece); Ecofeminist Literary Criticism (great bibliography and linkage to other theoretical pieces); and Androcentrism and Anthrpocentrism. I would definitely recommend this text to anyone wanting an introductory overview of ecofeminism.
