Earthwork Women and Environments Spring/Summer 2001

Women have played a critical role in the environmental movement, not only in the United States but throughout the world. They have organized to protect their own bodies and their children, as well as their livelihoods, community, and culture. They have fostered new respect for the earth and its and continued to expose the social, political, and environmental exploitation involved in global capitalism. This important and accessible volume pays tribute to the work of these women.
