While feminists celebrate this connection, women and all those who care for people and environments are facing increasing burdens and decreasing time for civic engagement. In Beyond Mothering Earth, MacGregor argues that celebrations of "earthcare" as women's unique contribution to the search for sustainability often neglect to consider the importance of politics and citizenship in women's lives. Drawing on interviews with women who juggle private caring with civic engagement in quality-of-life concerns, she proposes an alternative: a project of feminist ecological citizenship that affirms the practice of citizenship as an intrinsically valuable activity while recognizing the foundational aspects of caring labour and natural processes that allow its specificity to flourish. Beyond Mothering Earth provides an original and empirically grounded understanding of women's involvement in quality-of-life activism and an analysis of citizenship that makes an important contribution to contemporary discussions of green politics, globalization, neoliberalism, and democratic justice. It will be of value to scholars and activists interested in the politics of environmental sustainability and the shifting meanings of citizenship in an increasingly vulnerable world. 606 $aEcofeminism 606 $aHuman ecology$xPolitical aspects 606 $aCaring 606 $aWomen and the environment 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aEcofeminisme 606 $aHumanite (Morale) 606 $aFemmes et environnement 606 $aEcologisme 615 0$aEcofeminism. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aCaring. 615 0$aWomen and the environment. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism. 615 6$aEcofeminisme. 615 6$aHumanite (Morale) 615 6$aFemmes et environnement. 615 6$aEcologisme. 676 $a305.42 700 $aMacGregor$b Sherilyn$f1969-$01495045 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792904003321 996 $aBeyond mothering earth$93719020 997 $aUNINA
