Gina --
I have been doing some graduate work with ecofeminism myself, and I know
what you mean, the subject of "ecofeminism" is very difficult to narrow
down to a single topic! I'd love to help, though, and I'm sure lots of
other people on this list will have interesting ideas for you as well.
Could you tell us a little bit more about what *you* are thinking about the
topic? For instance, are you particularly interested in any specific
aspects of "ecofeminism" -- political action/social change? literature?
literary criticism? spirituality? the origins of the movement? There is so
much literature out there (fiction and non-fiction), and everyone on this
list probably has different ideas for you, depending on what aspects you'd
like to pursue. (I'm specifically interested in ecofeminist literary
criticism and nature-based spirituality, for instance). Depending upon
where you are in the research process, we could either suggest other books
to read, or we could talk about your ideas with you on this list.
Also, regarding the "technical" stuff -- what year are you in? when is the
paper due? how long does it have to be? Is there a minimum/maximum number
of sources you can/have to use?
Good luck!
