Bravo to whomever mentioned Woman on the Edge of Time.  Sorry, I accidentally
deleted your message.  The first thing I thought when I started reading
ecofeminist theory was that Piercy definately read some of it too before she
wrote the book.  Piercy's utopia is non-patriarchal, nature-loving.  Perhaps
the most interesting concept is the way in which motherhood is restructured -
it is no longer a woman's job, but is responsibility is shared equally 
throughout the society.  Could this have been the first ecofeminist novel?
It was written in '76.  Anyway, I definately recommend it to anyone who 
hasn't read it.
