If you're intrigued by the intersections of environmental issues and gender studies, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of how feminist perspectives can illuminate the challenges of the Anthropocene era. It provides fresh insights into the roles women play in shaping sustainable futures and critiques conventional approaches to environmental philosophy and psychology.

A stunning experiment in thinking of the Anthropocene through feminism and queer theory

Description

This book is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and techno-normative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and, for the first time, fully exploring the concept of anthropocene feminism, it highlights the alternatives feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene.
