The Forgotten Half (Feminist Ecological Perspectives)

The "Forgotten Half" in feminist ecological perspectives highlights how traditional social focus often neglects marginalized groups—particularly women of color, poor women, and those affected by environmental and economic inequalities. It emphasizes that environmental issues are interconnected with social justice, advocating for inclusive approaches that consider diverse experiences. Recognizing this "forgotten half" ensures that ecological solutions address not only nature but also the social inequities that impact vulnerable communities, leading to more equitable and effective sustainability efforts.
