The worldwide outcry from protesters of the 2017 Women's March made clear the connections of many related issues and the powerful connection to ecofeminism. Pink Hats and Ballots: An Ecofeminist Analysis of Women's Political Activism in the Age of Trump, Coronavirus, and Black Lives Matter provides an enlightening combination of history, federal policy changes, social science research, and ecofeminism to explain the extraordinary rise of women's political activism and the continued empowerment of minoritized individuals to resist oppression and engage in heightened new levels of political involvement. Environmental justice, racism, and social justice are central in analyzing the events encapsulating American politics between the 2016 and the 2020 Presidential elections culminating in the massive participation in 2020's Black Lives Matter protests during the COVID-19 pandemic. This book is vital reading for those new to activism and explains the connections between current issues and the exploitation of the environment.
Pink Hats and Ballots contributes to ecofeminist scholarship and provides an analysis of women's political activism in the age of Trump, COVID-19, and the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020. The book presents a socio-historical overview of ecofeminism and then explores the increase in political involvement of women beginning with the 2017 Women's March, following into the 2018 Midterm Elections, and ends with the 2020 election of the first Black female Vice-President, Kamala Harris. The core themes addressed in this book are as follows: ecofeminism, the women's movement, resistance and political action, and public leadership. In addition, the issues of social justice and environmental justice are addressed through an examination of the socio-political policies involving the denigration of women, the elimination of rights of the disenfranchised, and the exploitation of the environment. The major contribution of this book is in the application of current ecofeminism to the major social movements currently taking place in the United States. This book links current events to the extant ecofeminist literature and follows the path from anti-ecofeminist rhetoric and policy to resistance (the Women's March --the largest single-day protest in U.S. history) to active political participation.
