Women Working In The Environment

With increasing concern for global environmental health and the future of our existing ecosystems, new approaches to environmental problems are being explored. This book contains work from leading feminist voices in the discussion who are interested in men's and women's different responses.

Based on theoretical insights from ecofeminism, women and development, and postmodernism, and the convincing empirical work of numerous scholars, this book is organized around five aspects of gender relationships with the environment: Part I-gender divisions of labor, Part 2-property rights, Part 3-knowledge and strategies for sustainability, Part 4-environmental and social movements, and Part 5- policy alternatives. Examining women''s relationship with the environment using these five dimensions provides concrete, material examples of how women work with, control, know, and affect the environment and natural resources.
