Ecofeminist Natures

Race, Gender, Feminist Theory, and Political Action

Author: Noël Sturgeon
ISBN: 0415912490

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.
