Description: "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.
