In Women Healing Earth noted theologian Rosemary Radford Ruether
brings together illuminating writings of fourteen Latin American,
Asian, and African women on the meaning of eco-theological issues
in their own contexts - and the implications they have for women in
the first world. Ruether has spent the last several years exploring
the environmental crisis, the roles of religion and feminists, and
what third-world women have to say. Ecofeminists in the North must
listen carefully to women in the South since common problems can
only be solved by understanding cultural and historical
differences. When women of the South reflect on ecological themes,
these questions are rooted in life and death matters, not in
theory, nor statistics. As Ruether writes, "Deforestation means
women walking twice as far each day to gather wood .... Pollution
means children in shantytowns dying of dehydration from unclean
water". Impoverishment of the environment equals literal
impoverishment for the vast majority of people on the planet. In
addressing the intertwining issues of ecology, of class and race,
of religion and its liberative elements, Women Healing Earth offers
profound insights for all women and men involved in the struggles
to overcome violence against women and nature, and to ensure
ecological preservation and social justice.
