Description
According to the tenets of ecofeminism, there are explicit connections between society’s treatment of women and the degradation of our environment, connections made apparent in the patriarchal devaluation of both women and nature. In early modern England, the entry of women into the politics of nature occurred during a volatile period when the cultural meaning of nature was being destabilized by scientific advances and religious controversies, thus opening up new rights, roles, and responsibilities for women.
