Now how is that useful? Surely ecofeminism is about more than such blanket
fatalism tied, incongruously, with such dippy faith in individualism. I
suppose my aunt, age 43, let toxins give her breast cancer and then let the
cancer kill her?

Susan,
I've not followed your exchange with Nicole carefully enough to know
this particular context, but I do think that people are often bigoted
without being fully aware or intentionally so. We are drenched in
racist, sexist, heterosexist assumptions from birth, and I think it's

Dear Ben,
You're question is so basic to what ecofeminism is about that the responses of
suggested titles sound very usefully canon-suggestive to me. Don't forget one
of the early, important, perhaps obvious choices: Mary Daly's _Gyn/Ecology_.

MB, you were looking for cites for Petra Kelly. There's a small obit-type
piece in _In These Times_, Nov 11-29, '92, titled: "Petra Kelly: Sensitive
and Subversive," by Paul Hockenos. There's probably no crucial info there,
but you may want to cover all bases. Besides,
