Review
"This anthology succeeds in demonstrating its underlying premise that humans know nature through gender."Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment
"An assortment of readable and provocative essays."American Historical Review
"These essays are readable, teachable, intelligent, creative, funny, and, at times, disturbing in what they foretell for the future of nature inside and outside the human body. Together they form an indispensable work of environmental history."Western Historical Quarterly
"Provides an eclectic and enlightening perspective on a neglected aspect of environmental history. Although the essays range broadly, from the evolution of the heroic male firefighter image to the environmental ethics of lesbian land communities, they all explore the dynamic interface between gender constructs and the natural world. [This book] clearly demonstrates how integral gender has been in physical, mental, and spiritual interactions with nature through time. It has much to say to western historians."Montana The Magazine of Western History
This volume brings together some of the most innovative and exciting work in two burgeoning fields of historygender history and environmental history. It promises to break ground and will, as a result, be widely read and cited.Nancy Hewitt, editor of Talking Gender
Until recently environmental history has been curiously immune to gendered analysis. This gathering of original essays should enhance that enterprise and in the process open up entirely new possibilities for the field.Elliott West, author of The Contested Plains
Signals a coming of age for both gender studies and environmental studies and the arrival of a mature scholarship that can bring these interdisciplinary gestures together. . . . Will be a touchstone for future work in these areas.Frieda E. Knobloch, author of The Culture of Wilderness
