Abstract
The emerging set of discourses around women, nature, and the environment can be identified with the umbrella term environmental or ecological feminisms. In developing a geographical approach to environmental issues, a critical engagement with the questions raised by environmental feminisms is suggested. After a brief introduction to the principles of environmental feminisms for a geographical audience, three broad fields for future geographical work are outlined, namely: nature, culture, and gender; gendered relations of global development and environments; and gendered landscapes and identities. In particular it is argued that feminist and cultural geographical writing provides a critical opening for the further development of environmental feminist approaches.This publication has 19 references indexed in Scilit:
