ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the genesis of diverse typologies of feminism will bring us to an investigation of assorted efforts to typologize ecofeminisms. Typologizing feminism has a long history in the US feminist movement. The task of analytically separating different kinds of feminisms was, in the second-wave women's movement in the country, embedded in political struggles involving not just different feminist groups but also the relationship of feminism to the existing nonfeminist left. Thus, some accounts of "radical feminism" put together feminisms of women of color, lesbian separatists, anarchists, and Shulamith Firestone, who often got top billing. "Cyborg ecofeminism", if it were to be created as another form of ecofeminism, would produce its own exclusions, contain its own theoretical insuffeciencies, just as all ecofeminist variants have done. Finally, It fully engages in the interweaving of humor, irony, grace, resistance, struggle, and transformation that constitutes the best of political action.
