Ecofeminism
a philosophical and political movement that combines ecological concerns with feminist ones, regarding both as resulting from male domination of society
Mary Mellor (UK)
"Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation and degradation of the natural world and the subordination and oppression of women. It emerged in the mid-1970s alongside second-wave feminism and the green movement. Ecofeminism brings together elements of the feminist and green movements, while at the same time offering a challenge to both. It takes from the green movement a concern about the impact of human activities on the non-human world and from feminism the view of humanity as gendered in ways that subordinate, exploit and oppress women."-- From the introduction to "Feminism & Ecology" by Mary Mellor, New York Univerity Press,1997, p.1Source:http://www.wloe.org/what-is-ecofeminism.76.0.html
