Mies, Maria; Shiva, Vandana
Date Written: 1993-10-15Publisher: Zed Books Year Published: 1993 Pages: 336pp ISBN: 9781856491563 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX18560 The authors argue that ecological destruction and industrial catastrophes constitute a direct threat to everyday life, the maintenance of which has been made the particular responsibility of women. In both industrialized societies and developing countries, the new wars the world is experiencing, violent ethnic chauvinisms and the malfunctioning of the economy also pose urgent questions for ecofeminists. Is there a relationship between patriarchal oppression and the destruction of nature in the name of profit and progress? How can women counter the violence inherent in these processes? Should they look to a link between the women's movement and other social movements? Subject Headings |
