Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

`This book is a wake-up call for the environmental movement. It shows conclusively that women's empowerment is essential to achieving environmental sustainability. This has been a blind-spot for us for far too long. Under my leadership, I am determined that Friends of the Earth will take this issue seriously, build campaigning alliances with women's groups and mainstream gender equality throughout our work.' Craig Bennett, CEO of Friends of the Earth `You can't save the planet without equality ... We need a new economics informed by the larger picture, an economy that puts women and the Earth at the centre.' Vandana Shiva `Hope is a potent catalyst. And while our failure to adequately appreciate and guard against ecological destruction fills me with frustration, my hope is not meek or weak. It is urgent and raging. It's a hope that believes a better world - away from cyclical war, the annihilation of the earth's treasures and the grinding down of the poor - is possible.' Caroline Lucas MP '...this book is relevant to a wide audience (arguably everyone): to inform our understanding of discrimination against women, and to provide inspiring insight and encouragement into opportunities for achieving not only gender equality but environmental sustainability too.'
