Women and the Environment in the Long Nineteenth Century, 1775-1925

This four-volume collection features a variety of primary sources by nineteenth-century women from around the globe, whose work focuses on the varied interconnections between gender and the environment. Each volume considers contributions from women through the lens of eco-feminism, new materialism, and post-humanism. Contributions include queer women, indigenous women, and women of colour, and their various inquiries into the sciences and natural history, feminist epistemologies, and female-centric responses to war and disease. Contributions include a variety of manuscripts, essays, diaries, letters, fiction, poetry, and drama. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this collection will be of great interest to students and scholars of Women's History and Environmental History.
