Author: Shiva Vandana
Format: Paperback
Number of Pages: 234
Vandana Shiva examines women's work, development and ecology in this classic book in which she argues that there is an intimate link between the degradation of women and the degradation of nature in contemporary society. Both arise from assumptions that guide maldevelopment, also known as economic development. This maldevelopment - and consequently science, technology, politics- is exploitative by definition, and every area of human activity guided by it marginalizes and burdens women and nature. Shiva argues that ecology, harmony, sustainability and diversity are the path to survival and liberation , as opposed to domination, exploitation and surplus. She explores the unique place of women in the environment, both as its saviours and as victims of maldevelopment. She documents how the struggles of women in ecology movements constitute a non-violent alternative to dominant science, technology and development paradigms.
