The tangled roots of feminism, environmentalism, and Appalachian literature

"In The Tangled Roots of Feminism, Environmentalism, and Appalachian Literature, Elizabeth S. D. Engelhardt examines the origins of what we recognize today as ecological feminism - a wide-reaching philosophy that values the connections between humans and nonhumans and that works for social and environmental justice - and follows its development in the works of nineteenth- and twentieth-century Appalachian women writers."--BOOK JACKET.
