Ecological Politics

The book explores the evolution of ecofeminism and Green politics, tracing their roots from grassroots origins to their roles in the 1996 Green presidential campaign. Through personal experiences and extensive research, Greta Gaard examines the intersections of feminism, environmentalism, and social activism, highlighting key movements such as the feminist peace and animal liberation movements. She analyzes the transformation of the Green movement into a political entity, addressing the internal debates and factions that emerged, and contextualizes these developments within broader social movements of the late twentieth century.
