Social ecologies, witchcraft and hydrofeminism--a voyage through four decades of ecofeminist art

Inspired by four decades of ecofeminist thought and action in art, Life on Earth: Art & Ecofeminism presents firsthand accounts and critical assessments of the life and work of pioneering artists associated with the movement.
