The volume has 8 research articles that unearth potential women's issues in Indian/American/New zealand writings. Tribal issues, ecological issues, socio-cultural issues and political issues are the sites of contest. The suppression of women for ages and the resultant matriarchal patterns in society, which create social imbalances are highlited to achieve balance between the two extremes of patriarchy and matriarchy.

The book offers twelve cases of ethics relating to ecology and culture. The twelve cases presented in the twelve essays, are written by eminent scholars from India, USA, Canada and Egypt. Employing various ecocritical frameworks, the writers have tried to understand/analyse literary, cinematic and other cultural texts and contexts. The volume argues that the principles of ethics are as dynamic as culture and nature. Any ecological perspectives/issues/conditions cannot be separated from their cultural contexts and thus need a culture-specific scrutiny to understand the ethics of ecoculture.
