Finding Our Way: Rethinking Ecofeminist Politics

by Janet Biehl

Finding Our Way is a well-written, clear introduction to a range of ecofeminist thought. In four essays, Biehl explores ecofeminism’s intellectual affinities with social ecology and other schools of thought; critiques the increasing role of Goddess mythology within today’s movement; spiritedly defends reason and naturalism against what she sees as a “counter-Enlightenment” mentality within feminist and academic circles; and mines the Western democratic tradition for its relevant political insights for feminists today.
