Summary:

What does feminism have to say to the Anthropocene? How does the concept of the Anthropocene impact feminism? This is a daring and provocative response to the masculinist and technonormative approach to the Anthropocene so often taken by technoscientists, artists, humanists, and social scientists. By coining and fully exploring the concept of "anthropocene feminism" for the first time, it highlights the alternatives that feminism and queer theory can offer for thinking about the Anthropocene. Feminist theory has long been concerned with the anthropogenic impact of humans, and of men in particular, on nature. The contributors to this volume explore not only what current interest in the Anthropocene might mean for feminism but also how feminist theory can contribute to technoscientific understandings of the Anthropocene. With essays from prominent environmental and feminist scholars, this book highlights both why we need an anthropocene feminism and why thinking about the Anthropocene must come from feminism.
