- Synopsis
- The passionately argued, incendiary French feminist work that first defined &“eco-feminism&”—now available for the first time in English Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Francoise d&’Eaubonne surveyed women&’s status around the globe and argued that the stakes of feminist struggle was not about equality but about life and death—for humans and the planet. In this wide-ranging manifesto, d&’Eaubonne 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 &“mutation&”—an overthrow of not just male power but the system of power itself. As d&’Eaubonne 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 d&’Eaubonne&’s work within current feminist theory, environmental justice organizing, and anticolonial feminism.
