This book provides a much-needed comprehensive overview of the relevance and value of using eco-feminist theories. It gives a broad coverage of traditional and emerging eco-feminist theories and explores, across a range of chapters, their various contributions and uniquely spans various strands of ecofeminist thinking. It discusses the origins of influential eco-feminist theories including key themes and some of its leading figures (contributors include Erika Cudworth, Greta Gaard, Trish Glazebrook and Ariel Salleh), and outlines its influence on how scholars might come to a more generative understanding of the natural environment. It examines eco-feminism's potential contribution for advancing current discussions and research on the human world.
