Since Silent Spring was published in 1962, the number of texts
about the natural world written by women has grown exponentially.
The essays in Women Writing Nature: A Feminist View argue that
women writing in the 20th century are utilizing the historical
connection of women and the natural world in diverse ways. For
centuries women have been associated with nature but many feminists
have sought to distance themselves from the natural world because
of dominant cultural representations which reflect women as
controlled by powerful natural forces and confined to domestic
spaces. However, in the spirit of Rachel Carson, some writers have
begun to invoke nature for feminist purposes or have used nature as
an agent of resistance. This collection considers women's writings
about the natural world in light of recent and current feminist and
ecofeminist theory and finds a variety of approaches and
perspectives, both by the scholars and by the authors discussed,
culminating with the voices of two women, activist and scientist
Joan Maloof and Irish poet Rosemarie Rowley, who both write about
the natural world from a feminist perspective.
