Intertwined: Women, Nature, and Climate Justice
By Rebecca Kormos
INTERTWINED unpacks the connections between feminism and environmental justice, examining how women and oppressed people are disproportionately impacted by climate destruction and how they are fighting back. Author Rebecca Kormos writes, "Nature and women have suffered a long history together of exploitation and subordination. They have been put into categories, where they are essentialized and viewed as powerless, passive, or sexualized. When we stand up against patriarchy, we are standing up for the rights of the earth as well."
