This exceptional book will make a great contribution to courses fo­cusing on ecofeminism and eco­womanism, environmental justice, food security, and international and health studies. Many chapters review the most critical literature and other helpful and hands-on material for educators in the fields of ecofeminism and ecowomanism. The text is accessible for undergradu­ates, thought-inspiring for graduate students, and potentially life-altering for all its readers.
