Women and Nature

[KichigaiNeko]

Here's a revealing essay on ecofeminism:

The essay lists several sources for further discovery.

What I got from this is that ecofeminism was first coined in the 1970s and calls for considering the 'oppression of nature' as another example of misdead foisted upon reality by the Western patriarchal system. The author, Hobgood-Oster, quotes from Ruther's book New Woman/New Earth:

Women must see that there can be no liberation for them and no solution to the ecological crisis within a society whose fundamental model of relationships continues to be one of domination. They must unite the demands of the women’s movement with those of the ecological movement to envision a radical reshaping of the basic socioeconomic relations and the underlying values of this [modern industrial] society.

Based on this limited research I agree that the idea is a croc.

Thank you cato...much appreciated!
