Dear Richard, Do you mean that "ecofeminism" is not an independent school among feminist various schools(for example: Marxist Feminism, Radical Feminism, and so on)? But I think ecofeminism must be different from feminism, so what is its characteristic. I don't know whether ecofeminism is just focused on ecological or environmental problems. best wishes, chen --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] �����ģ�> Dear Chen, > Some writers such as Chris Cuomo and Karen Warren > use the > term ecological feminism in prefernce to > ecofeminism.
