Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Francoise
d'Eaubonne surveyed women's status around the globe and argued that
the stakes of feminist struggle was not about equality but about
life and death-for humans and the planet. In this wide-ranging
manifesto, d'Eaubonne first proposed a politics of ecofeminism, the
idea that the patriarchal system's claim over women's bodies and
the natural world destroys both, and that feminism and
environmentalism must bring about a new 'mutation'-an overthrow of
not just male power but the system of power itself. As d'Eaubonne
prophesied, "the planet placed in the feminine will flourish for
all." Never before published in English, and translated here by
French feminist scholar Ruth Hottell, this edition includes an
introduction from scholars of ecology and feminism situating
d'Eaubonne's work within current feminist theory, environmental
justice organizing, and anticolonial feminism.
