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 to the environment and how these differences affect conservation, pollution, land use and other critical environmental issues. Using a number of case studies from communities around the world, the book addresses such key questions as: how do women relate to nature?; what are the similarities between the domination of women and the domination of nature?; and how can women help solve ecological problems.
