摘要:Literature on gender and environment has developed intensely in the last 30 years with very diverse approaches and purposes. Beyond classic ecofeminisms, recent research has focused on the material conditions that favour the direct relationship of women with the environment and its problems. These analyses show that women are not an homogeneous category; rather they are situated in different settings, they receive a variety of social pressions, and they are motivated by an array of considerations. In this contribution I argue that paying attention to this diversity is a crucial requirement both for an adequate understanding of the factors influencing human relationship with the natural environment and for the identification of intervention areas and strategies. However, the situation of any particular woman develops against the background of a gender ideology that resists social changes and the construction of individual identities free from gender roles. This is why I also defend the relevance of gender analysis in dealing with environmental attitudes and behaviors.
