"...the strongest section of [Eaton's] book is the first chapter in which she lays out the groundwork for ecofeminism. She defines ecofeminist terminology clearly and well. And certainly people of all faiths must reconsider, or continue to consider, their relationships to the Earth. They should, as Eaton urges, encourage ‘the exchange between science and religion' and understand the extent of the ecological crisis." - The Catholic Register, December 11, 2005
