This book rewrites the literary history of Canada from a feminist ecological perspective, exploring the cultural myth which inexorably identifies women with non-human nature. Diana Relke’s series of essays examines the lives & work of nine women poets, from Isabella Valancy Crawford in the nineteenth century to Marilyn Dumont in the late twentieth. Utilising insights from fields as disparate as history & biology, physics & philosophy, Relke’s essays make a landmark contribution to the emerging field of ecofeminist criticism.
