Examining the position of women in relation to nature - the forests, the food chain and water supplies - the author links the violation of nature with the violation and marginalization of women, expecially in the Third World. Both arise from assumpions in economic development, a process the author argues should more aptly be described as maldevelopment. One result is that the impact of science, technology and politics, along with teh workings of the economy itself, are inherently exploitative. Every area of human activity marginalizes and burdens both women and nature.
Tere is only onw path, Vandana Shiva suggests, to survival and liberation for nature, women and men, and that is the ecological path of harmony, sustainability and diversity. She explores the unique place of women in the environment of India, in paritucular, both as its saviours and as victims of maldevelopment. Her analysi is an innovative statement of the callenge that women in ecology movements are creating and she shows how their efforts constitute a non-violent and humanly inlcusive alternative to the dominant paradigm of contemporary scientific and development thought. |
