Urgent Alliances and Shared Visions: Connecting Lines Between Feminist and Environmentalist Political Perspectives

Feminist and environmentalist political perspectives share strong connecting lines. The first of these can be seen in the critical perspective of feminist economics, which questions the growth postulate and criticises the exploitation of people and resources. A second connection is in the demands for an expanded concept of work, coupled with a reorganisation of work. A third involves engaging with care as a guiding concept—and extending it even beyond humans. We discuss these three connecting lines at a conceptual level and conclude with implications for activist and political contexts.
