In \u003ci\u003eMade From This Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, Vera Norwood explores the relationship of women to the natural environment through the work of writers, illustrators, landscape and garden designers, ornithologists, botanists, biologists, and conservationists.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNorwood begins by showing that the study and promotion of botany was an activity deemed appropriate for women in the early 1800s. After highlighting the work of nineteenth-century scientific illustrators and garden designers, she focuses on nature's advocates such as Rachel Carson and Dian Fossey who differed strongly with men on both women's nature and the value of the natural world. These women challenged the dominant, male-controlled ideologies, often framing their critique with reference to values arising from the female experience. Norwood concludes with an analysis of the utopian solutions posed by ecofeminists, the most recent group of women to contest men over the meaning and value of nature. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vera Norwood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/05\/1993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.19w x 1.17d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807843963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eNorwood, Vera:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Vera Norwood, professor of American studies at the University of New Mexico, is coeditor of \u003ci\u003eThe Desert Is No Lady: Southwestern Landscapes in Women's Writing and Art\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of North Carolina Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40265602531443,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":43.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_39cef6b0-abe1-4f77-98c9-01c5828809ff.jpg?v=1657721560","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/made-from-this-earth-american-women-and-nature-9780807843963","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
