A historical treatment of ecofeminism as a US social movement. Examining the development of ecofeminism from the 1980s antimilitarist movement to an internationalist ecofeminism in the 1990s. Sturgeon explores the ecofeminist notions of gender, race, and nature. She moves from detailed historical investigations of important manifestations of US ecofeminism to a broad analysis of international environmental politics. Using original research on ecofeminist actions and organizations, Ecofeminist Natures ranges from images of the "Moral Mother" in ecofeminist antimilitarism, to the idea of "indigenous women" as "ultimate ecofeminists," to the deployment of a white Goddess, to the attempt to construct a "women's voice" at the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development.

'Case and the Dreamer' brings together Theodore Sturgeon's last stories, written between 1972 and 1983. They include 'The Country of Afterward', a sexually explicit story Sturgeon had been unable to write earlier in his career, and the title story, about an encounter with a transpatial being that is also a meditation on love.
