Women's Studies Quarterly. Earthwork: Women and Envrionments, (29:1-2) - Softcover

Women have played a critical role in the environmental movement, not only in the United States but throughout the world. They have organized to protect their own bodies and their children, as well as their livelihoods, community, and culture. They have fostered new respect for the earth and its and continued to expose the social, political, and environmental exploitation involved in global capitalism.

This important and accessible volume pays tribute to the work of these women. Lively, topical, and inspiring, it includes critical and historical essays, prose and poetry, and personal writing, along with resources and syllabi for teaching and curriculum transformation.

Women's Studies Quarterly (WSQ) has been the leading journal in teaching in women's studies since 1972. Thematic issues feature vital and accessible material for a broad audience of readers: anyone engaged in education, research, or feminist action, and interested in the impact of new scholarship on women and the curriculum. Recent scholarship, in jargon-free language, combines with classroom aids such as course syllabi, discussions of strategies for teaching, and up-to-date bibliographies, as well as hard-to-find or never-before-published documents and literary materials. A peer-reviewed, theme-based journal, WSQ is published twice a year in double issues compiled by distinguished guest editors.
