Hi Danne,
I believe that Greta Gaard's most recent work is doing just that. The
biblio. in Noel Sturgeon's 1997 _Ecofeminist_Natures_ includes a reference
to a "forthcoming" essay by Gaard, to be printed in _Hypatia_, titled,
"Toward a Queer Ecofeminism." I believe the essay is now published,
it from within your mailer.
If you cannot, please ask your system administrator for assistance.
