“To the extent that ecofeminist literary criticism [...] offers a critique of the many forms of oppression and advocates the centrality of human diversity and biodiversity to our survival on this planet; and to the extent that it emphasizes the urgency of political action aimed at dismantling institution of oppression and building egalitarian and ecocentric networks in their place—[...]ecofeminist literary criticism has a vital contribution to make.” ~Greta Gaard and Patrick D. Murphy
