I love the subject but didnt find it particularly gave me much also theres a LOT of abbreviations and in some cases jargon style language which makes some parts feel less accessible 1783605839 There are some standout chapters and the overall message of the book is interesting But the majority is filled with buzzwords that make it tedious to read and hard to discover the actual point 1783605839 I read this book for class I struggled to connect with the writing and content I thought this book s international approach limited its content I felt like the book s essays and sections were not as engaging as other ecofeminist books I have read 1783605839 Okay.

Some of the essays were really interesting and some were so boring i skipped them entirely anti capitalist struggles 1783605839 Some bits of this were very interesting particularly the bits related to food and land However many of the entries assumed capitalism as a given the last entry is literally about women in boardrooms whichis just so off the mark and many had an unhelpfully blunt understanding of gender I think most people would find something useful in this so it might be worth picking up at a charity shop or the library and flipping through IMO the most interesting chapters were the ones by Gotelind Alber Lyla Mehta and Melissa Leach and Celia Alldridge 1783605839 
I am a feminist and an environmentalist so you would think that I would devour this book Unfortunately it was painful to get through First there are multiple typos which made for a distracting read Secondly very few of the essays actually conveyed helpful insightful novel information Most of the essays repeated the same things or I felt were simply cheerleading For example 9 We cannot separate out the need for gender equality from other struggles for fair equal and environmentally sustainable society.

Book Why Women Will Save the planet fitness Okay so aside from CREATING A TOTALLY NEW CIVILIZATION what else might you suggest Maybe something a little tangible a tad realistic Unless you re just saying that we re fucked so why bother trying I felt like I wasted a lot of time getting through the book hoping for 1783605839 Wangari Maathai the Kenyan environmentalist and 2004 Nobel Peace Laureate was fond of recounting a children s story she d been told on a visit to Japan A huge fire breaks out in the forest runs the tale All the animals are transfixed and overwhelmed by the conflagration All but a hummingbird that is who resolves to do something about it She flies to the nearest stream dips her beak into it and drops a bead of water onto the flames The elephant the lion the giraffe and the other animals laugh at her as she flies back and forth over and over again You re just a tiny hummingbird they jeer What difference do you think you can make And the hummingbird replies I m doing the best I can 1783605839 This is a great compilation of essays and interviews by women leaders and their take on women and the environment I really enjoyed reading the majority of chapters in this book learning about projects taking place across the globe to empower women as well as what s being done in my own country It s a brilliant book to discover and reaffirm why it is so important to improve equality between genders and different peoples and how this impacts the environment 1783605839 I m not sure how many times I learned that women are most affected by climate change because they have to provide water and fuel for cooking in most regions of the world But aside from this oft repeated fact many of the essays harped on the same concepts with just slightly different nuance That being said there will still a couple original essays that really stood out and the overall message of this collection still resonated The same society that treats women as invisible and their labor as unimportant will fail to find value in the preservation of Mother Earth as well Until there s a fundamental shift in both of these issues we ll never see lasting sustainable change 1783605839 I initially picked up this book thinking it would be this amazing insight into the nuanced and complicated issues surrounding gender equality and climate change In part it was but there is a good chunk of this book that is pretty disappointing if you come into it expecting nuanced reflections and new and constructive information At best I found individual chapters insightful and interesting especially those discussing very specific problems and suggesting creative and original solutions There were a lot of interesting perspectives and voices and a good amount of diversity in terms of both the persons and what they were representing Many of the essays and interviews acknowledged and reflected on the complications that occur when discussing climate change and even gender equality when other forms of marginalisation aren t being considered but plenty others seemed to have a distinct white westerner s point of view and didn t really add anything new To add to this a large percentage of the essays seemed to focus on conveying the story of a single organisation or such and often ended on some reflection along the likes of women in government Female business owners Women are imperative in discussions on climate change First off yes of course we need women in positions of power and obviously everyone reading this book hopefully understands the importance of including women when saving the earth But simply giving a woman a position of power means nothing if she will continue to uphold patriarchal capitalist structures it is such a dry blanket statement that seems far radical than it really is Then there is the female business owner which is ignoring the root of the problem entirely I liked it overall Like I said there are some genuinely good essays in there But there is also an overwhelming amount of this capitalistic Give women power Make them bosses Without addressing race ethnicity or class or really going into the specifics of things beyond a very general idea I feel most of us would already be familiar with It s also worth noting that some of the essays had a very poor understanding of gender as well and was both cisnormative and at times ironically enough even played into gender roles as well 1783605839
