This book provides a historical context for understanding the contested relationships between women and nature, and it articulates strategies for moving beyond the dualistic theories and practices that often frame those relationships. In 1974, Francoise d'Eaubonne coined the term "ecofeminism" to raise awareness about interconnections between women's oppression and nature's domination in an attempt to liberate women and nature from subordination. Since then, ecofeminism has attracted scholars and activists from various disciplines and positions to assess the relationship between the cultural human and the natural nonhuman through gender reconsiderations. The contributors to this volume present critical and constructive perspectives on ecofeminism throughout its history, from the beginnings of ecofeminism in the 1970s through to contemporary and emerging developments in the field, drawing on animal studies, postcolonialism, film studies, transgender studies, and political ecology. This interdisciplinary and international collection of essays demonstrates the ongoing relevance of ecofeminism as a way of understanding and responding to the complex interactions between genders, bodies, and the natural environment. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of ecofeminism as well as those involved in environmental studies and gender studies more broadly.

This edited collection critically engages with ecofeminist scholarship to better understand the contemporary and future challenges for feminism and environmental issues. It brings together key thinkers and activists in the field to map an ongoing dialogue between women’s issues and rapid environmental change. Feminist Ecologies examines how ecofeminist thought and activism intersect with global debates about environmental catastrophe as a product of patriarchal capitalism and the status of women. Its chapters include contributions from pioneering scholars and activists in the field that engage with the tensions and concerns existing between historical feminism and ecofeminism. These include the dialectical relationship between environmental and feminist causes; the relational identities of feminists and ecofeminists; and the concept of ecofeminism as a new wave of feminism. This book helps to define ecofeminism as a multidisciplinary project and will be of particular interest to students and scholars of Gender Studies, Environmental Studies and Ecological Studies.

This volume presents key contributions to the study of ecocriticism in Nordic children’s and YA literary and cultural texts, in dialogue with international classics. It investigates the extent to which texts for children and young adults reflect current environmental concerns. The chapters are grouped into five thematic areas: Ethics and Aesthetics, Landscape, Vegetal, Animal, and Human, and together they explore Nordic representations and a Nordic conception, or feeling, of nature. The textual analyses are complemented with the lived experiences of outdoor learning practices in preschools and schools captured through children’s own statements. The volume highlights the growing influence of posthumanist theory and the continuing traces of anthropocentric concerns within contemporary children’s literature and culture, and a non-dualistic understanding of nature-culture interaction is reflected in the conceptual tool of the volume: The Nature in Culture Matrix.
