Women and the Environment in the Long Nineteenth Century, 1775-1925

This volume features a variety of primary sources by nineteenth-century women from around the globe, whose work focuses on the varied interconnections between gender and the environment. The collection focuses on feminine eco-cognition; gendered power relations in nature; environmental egalitarianism & liberation; feminist epistemic eco-modalities; and ways that women in the nineteenth century sought to de-enforce gendered hierarchies in natural settings. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of Women's History and Environmental History.
