Hi Ben,
While I don't have the book immediately at hand, Des Jardins (a
contemporary philosopher) has written a book published by Wadsworth
(just out in 2nd ed.) concerning the lack of theory and philosophical
approach underlying much of the environmental movement. Later chapters
look at deep ecology and feminist(s) ecology, but I would not skip the
earlier chapters which lay the groundwork for his premises. I found his
approach prompted thoughtful consideration and was well grounded. I
highly recommend it!

Thanks for the info Charlotte, but the essay's already been written and
handed in. In one part of the essay I discussed the differences between
ecofeminism and the Animal Rights movement. I said that the Animal Rights
movement is using the patriarchal concept of Rights and simply applying it
to Animals. This is not changing the fundamental way we relate to animals.
It is thus a contradiction in terms to say Feminists for Animal Rights.
Thanks,
Ben.
