Re: the connection b/t feminism and environmentalism in rick c.'s post

This connection is called Ecofeminism. An especially relevant source for
this list would be Patrick D. Murphy's _Literature, Nature, and Other:
Ecofeminist Critiques_ (SUNY, 1995), which discusses LeGuin from an
ecofeminist perspective. For ecofeminism in general, see Carol Adams,
_The Sexual Politics of Meat_ (good discussion of anthropocentrism), Irene
Diamond and Gloria Orenstein, eds. _Reweaving the World: The Emergence of
Ecofeminism_, and Karen J. Warren, ed. _Ecological Feminist Philosophies_.
These are but a few good starting points in a long bibliography of the
intersection b/t feminism and environmentalism.
