Theories of ecological feminism see the patriarchal dominations of
women and other social groups as parallel to man's exploitation of
"non-human nature". Ecofeminists believe that environmental
politics and philosophy are enriched by using gender as a focus,
while also appreciating the necessity of an ecological dimension to
any form of feminism. This book offers a survey of ecofeminism from
a purely philosophical point of view; it is concerned with the
conceptual underpinnings of the argumentative support for
ecofeminism. The contributors also use the approaches and
methodologies of ethics, epistemology, and metaphysics to examine
ecology's link with the women's movement. There is not one view of
ecofeminism, any more than there is one feminism; Karen Warren has
emphasized the importance of acknowledging this, and represents a
plurality of views in her collection. The essays in this volume
deal with a wide variety of subjects - the essential distinction
between the "ecofeminist" and the "ecofeminine", the link between
violence and environmental exploitation, feminism as relationship
to animal rights, among other topics.
