ISBN10: n/a    ISBN13: 9781839764400

The passionately argued, incendiary French feminist work that first defined eco-feminismnow available for the first time in English Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Francoise dEaubonne surveyed womens status around the globe and argued that the stakes of feminist struggle was not about equality but about life and deathfor humans and the planet. In this wide-ranging manifesto, dEaubonne 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 mutationan overthrow of not just male power but the system of power itself. As dEaubonne 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 dEaubonnes work within current feminist theory, environmental justice organizing, and anticolonial feminism.
