lattelibrarian's review against another edition
4.0
This is a necessary read, I believe, as both a feminist and a vegan. Each chapter of this book discusses something different, such as the rejection of the anti-nature view in China, the link between women and animals, and the romanticization of women and nature. And that's just putting it really shortly and pretty vaguely in comparison to these chapters. Each author is so incredibly well-versed and offers so many resources.
Honestly, this niche of feminism is one that I think everybody should at least have some basic knowledge of. For me, personally, this is a niche I want to analyze more and pursue. Everything about it--the land justice, the animal liberation, the deconstruction of nature and industry--it's all so intriguing to me. There's hundreds of years and industries and cultures and lands to be unpacked, and this book only scratches the surface despite how in-depth the essays are. It's mind boggling and amazing.
I read this every chance I got while on public transportation, and I not only learned so much, but I also felt myself despairing and reinforcing the reasons why I care about animals and the environment. It's sad to notice how little practices in factory farms have changed in literally the entirety I've been alive, but these authors have amazing calls to action and suggestions and ideas.
When I finished reading Ecofeminism, I felt a multitude of emotions ranging from despair to hope to bitterness to optimism. This topic is a complicated, nuanced, and upcoming one (still), and I think it's one that we should all learn more about.
