Taking a feminist and place-based analysis, prize-winning author Wendy Harcourt explores the gendered dimension of key issues such as gendered territories, resources, food and energy crises, climate justice, technologies, embodiment, consumerism, ecofeminism, biopolitics and alternatives to mainstream development.Setting the scene for future books to be published in the Zed Book series Gender and Environment, Harcourt proposes an entirely new way of thinking of feminist political ecology.
