The relationship between feminism and ecology has grown in
importance in recent years. This book provides a comprehensive
introduction to the ecofeminist movement and its history, as well
as an extended analysis of the main perspectives within it. Mellor
examines the connections between feminism and the green movement,
and outlines the contributions of the major participants, while
contextualizing them within a wider range of debates. She
re--examines classic feminist texts from an ecofeminist
perspective, and explores the relationship between ecofeminism and
other ecological movements, such as a deepa ecology, social ecology
and ecosocialism. Mellor discusses the association of women with
biology and a naturea , and argues that the relationship between
women and the environment can help us to understand the
relationship between humanity and the natural world. Against the
trends towards radical economic liberalism, global capitalism and
postmodernist pluralism, she argues that there is within the
feminist and green movements the basis of a new radical movement
which draws on the principles of both. A useful and engaging
account of feminist perspectives on ecology, the book will be
welcomed by students and researchers in feminism and gender
studies, sociology and political theory.
