Ecofeminism represents ways of discerning associations between the oppression and domination of both women and the earth. It refers to critical analyses, political actions, historical research, intuitions and ideals. Ecofeminist efforts are directed towards reducing further ecological and social devastation, and awakening consciousness to the immense beauty and elegance of all life on this fragile yet awesome blue-green planet. This book introduces and explores ecofeminism and its encounter with theology, predominantly Christian theology in Eurowestern contexts. Its main goals are to understand the significance and implications of ecofeminism and its contribution and challenge to theology, and to assist ecofeminist theology, or theologies, to be more effective in preventing ecological ruin, assisting women's struggles for freedom and supporting the flourishing of all life on earth.
