Ecofeminism

Environmental Encyclopedia
Ref GE10 E58 2003
This is a huge two volume set involving entries on all aspects of the environment and environmental action. This work is not specifically related to ecofeminism or the role of women in environmental protection and sustainability; however, there are entries within the work about these issues. Each entry is fairly short since the scope of the work is so large but there are listings for other resources as well as diagrams and pictures accompanying many of the entries for further explanation.

International Encyclopedia of Environmental Politics
Ref GE170 I55 2002
This is also an encyclopedia touching on the huge subject of environmentalism but as a particular focus on international environmental concerns. This, again, is not about ecofeminism or women in particular although it does touch on these issues in many of the entries. The entries are well written and vary in length, but most have additional resource listings as well.
