Ecological Feminism (Hardcover)

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.
