Eco-feminism
A concise definition of ecofeminism reads: "Ecofeminism is the social movement that regards the oppression of women and nature as interconnected. It is one of the few movements and analyses that actually connects two movements. More recently, ecofeminist theorists have extended their analyses to consider the interconnections between sexism, the domination of nature (including animals), and also racism and social inequalities. Consequently it is now better understood as a movement working against the interconnected oppressions of gender, race, class and nature". The most influential writers of the last decade include Val Plumwood, Donna Haraway, Noel Sturgeon, Chris Cuomo, Greta Gaard and Lynda Birke.
