Mary Mellor
- "Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation and degradation of the natural world and the subordination and oppression of women. It emerged in the mid-1970s alongside second-wave feminism and the green movement. Ecofeminism brings together elements of the feminist and green movements, while at the same time offering a challenge to both. It takes from the green movement a concern about the impact of human activities on the non-human world and from feminism the view of humanity as gendered in ways that subordinate, exploit and oppress women." -- From the introduction to "Feminism & Ecology" by Mary Mellor, New York Univerity Press, 1997

Literature/Poetry
(Quotes)
Margaret Atwood
“In the spring, at the end of the day, you should smell like dirt.”
― Bluebeard's Egg
“Don't let the bastards grind you down.”
― The Handmaid's Tale
“Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.”
Jean Auel
― “Life sometimes gets in the way of writing.”
― “You learn to write by writing, and by reading and thinking about how writers have created their characters and invented their stories. If you are not a reader, don't even think about being a writer.”
Marion Zimmer Bradley
― “It has never been, and never will be easy work. But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.”
Octavia Butler
“In order to rise from its own ashes, a phoenix first must burn.”
― Parable of the Talents
“When your rage is choking you, it is best to say nothing.”
― Fledgling
“He was like me - a kindred spirit crazy enough to keep on trying.”
Annie Dillard
“She read books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live.”
― The Living
― “You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.”
“It has always been a happy thought to me that the creek runs on all night, new every minute, whether I wish it or know it or care, as a closed book on a shelf continues to whisper to itself its own inexhaustible tale.”
― Pilgrim at Tinker Creek
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
― "I'm getting really fond of the room in spite of the wallpaper. Perhaps because of the wallpaper."
Sue Monk Kidd
“Empathy is the most mysterious transaction that the human soul can have, and it's accessible to all of us, but we have to give ourselves the opportunity to identify, to plunge ourselves in a story where we see the world from the bottom up or through another's eyes or heart.”
Ursula K. Le Guin
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ursula_K._Le_Guin - Ursula Kroeber is the daughter of anthropologist Alfred Louis Kroeber and writer Theodora Kracaw.
― “But need alone is not enough to set power free: there must be knowledge.”
― “War as a moral metaphor is limited, limiting, and dangerous. By reducing the choices of action to “a war against” whatever-it-is, you divide the world into Me or Us (good) and Them or It (bad) and reduce the ethical complexity and moral richness of our life to Yes/No, On/Off. This is puerile, misleading, and degrading. In stories, it evades any solution but violence and offers the reader mere infantile reassurance. All too often the heroes of such fantasies behave exactly as the villains do, acting with mindless violence, but the hero is on the “right” side and therefore will win. Right makes might.”
Barbara Kingsolver
― “For me, writing time has always been precious, something I wait for and am eager for and make the best use of. That's probably why I get up so early and have writing time in the quiet dawn hours, when no one needs me.”
Toni Morrison
― “I like marriage. The idea.”
― “Birth, life, and death -- each took place on the hidden side of a leaf.”
Mary Oliver
― “Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?”
Marge Piercy

Who Cooked Adam Smith's Dinner?
- A Story About Women and Economics
- by Katrine Marçal
The imagined economic individual wants one thing: more. “Our most fundamental trait is that we want an unlimited number of things,” Marçal recounts. “Everything. Now. Immediately.” Adam Smith conceded that this was irrational behavior — if we knew what was good for us, we wouldn’t be so willing to trade our time for stuff. But Smith thought humans were fundamentally vain and miscalculating.
