Ecofeminism from Latin America (Women from the Margins)

As Latin American women today take a new look at themselves as human beings and at the nature of the world around them, they are forging a new theology: ecofeminism. Mary Judith Ress works among these women, worships with them, and has written down their stories. Ecofeminism in Latin America explores the historical developments of this movement, and its roots and sources in wisdom traditions, new approaches to cosmology, and other women's theological movements. 'Judith Ress's ecofeminism is rooted in her commitment to women and the poor of Latin America and to the earth. She helps us build bridges across different traditions of wisdom and theology to connect with our own selves, with others, and with the living and breathing mystery of the cosmos.'-Ivone Gebara -Explores new territory in liberation theology and ecofeminism, seeking to discern the paradigm shifts in the thinking and writing of a network of women that point toward the emergence of post-patriarchal, ecofeminist theology in Latin America.'-Letty Russell Mary Judith Ress is a Maryknoll Lay Missioner, a writer, and a founding member of the Con-spirando Collective, a team of women working in ecofeminist theology and spirituality in Santiago, Chile, where she now lives.
