This is very much a book of the 21st century. Written through a broadly theoretical framework which privileges an ecofeminist perspective, it also looks at issues of climate change and climate politics through the autoethnographic experience of the author. This blend of quite complicated and contemporary theory with the lived experience of the author, offering a measured and wide-ranging critique of right-wing political ideologies on the issues of gender and climate, is an original and evocative credo, and one which will be both popular and significant. It is an important document describing the world in which we live.
