Francoise d'Eaubonne

Opis

Originally published in French in 1974, radical feminist Francoise d'Eaubonne's surveyed women's status around the globe and argued that the stakes of feminist struggle was not about equality but about life and death--for humans and the planet. In this wide-ranging manifesto, D'Eaubonne first proposed a politics of ecofeminism, the idea that the patriarchal system also destroys the environment, and that feminism and environmentalism must bring about a new "mutation"--an overthrow of not just male power but the system of power itself. As d'Eaubonne prophesied, "A planet placed in the feminine will flourish for all." Never before published in English, and translated here by French feminist scholar Ruth Hottell, this edition includes introductions from scholars of ecology and feminism situating d'Eaubonne's groundbreaking work within current feminist theory, environmental justice organizing, and anticolonial feminism.
