Effie Waller Smith, an African American woman writing of her love for the Appalachian mountains, wove discussions of women's rights, racial tension, and cultural difference into her Appalachian poetry. Grace MacGowan Cooke participated in avant-garde writers' colonies with the era's literary lights and applied their progressive ideals to her fiction about the Appalachia of her youth. Emma Bell Miles, witness to poverty, industrialization, and violence against women, wrote poignant and insightful critiques of her Appalachian home. In "The Tangled Roots of Feminism, Environmentalism, and Appalachian Literature" Elizabeth Engelhardt finds in all four women's writings the origins of what we recognize today as ecological feminism--a wide-reaching philosophy that values the connections between humans and nonhumans and works for social and environmental justice. People and the land in Appalachia were also the subject of women authors with radically different approaches to mountains and their residents. Authors with progressive ideas about women's rights did not always respect the Appalachian places they were writing about or apply their ideas to all of the women in those places--but they did create hundreds of short stories, novels, letters, diaries, photographs, sketches, and poems about the mountains. While "The Tangled Roots of Feminism, Environmentalism, and Appalachian Literature" ascribes much that is noble to the beginnings of the ecological feminism movement as it developed in Appalachia, it is also unyielding in its assessment of the literatures of the voyeur, tourist, and social crusader who supported status quo systems of oppression in Appalachia. 410 0$aOhio University Press series in ethnicity and gender in Appalachia. 606 $aAmerican literature$zAppalachian Region$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts$zAppalachian Region 606 $aWomen$zAppalachian Region$xIntellectual life 606 $aFeminism and literature$zAppalachian Region 606 $aWomen and literature$zAppalachian Region 606 $aEnvironmentalism$zAppalachian Region 606 $aEcofeminism$zAppalachian Region 606 $aEcofeminism in literature 607 $aAppalachian Region$xIntellectual life 607 $aAppalachian Region$xIn literature 615 0$aAmerican literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAmerican literature$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aAuthors, American$xHomes and haunts 615 0$aWomen$xIntellectual life. 615 0$aFeminism and literature 615 0$aWomen and literature 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 615 0$aEcofeminism 615 0$aEcofeminism in literature. 676 $a810.9/974 700 $aEngelhardt$b Elizabeth S.
