Ecofeminism

Two of Zed's best-known authors, one an economist, the other a physicist and philosopher, come together in this book on a controversial environmental agenda.

Do women involved in environmental movements see a link between patriarchy and ecological degradation? What are the links between global militarism and the destruction of nature?

They argue for the acceptance of limits, the rejection of the commoditization of needs, and a commitment to a new ethics.
