Argues against ecofeminism's dualist & essentialist assumptions while also defending ecofeminism as a serious strategic & theoretical approach to understanding the limits of gender categories. Argues that ecofeminism's critiques of dualism & essentialism nevertheless paradoxically draw on dualist & essentialist gender assumptions. Discusses theoretical relationships of essentialism & ecofeminism followed by examinations of dualistic ecofeminism, social ecofeminism, & gendered constructions of male & female in relation to epistemology, objectivity, & subjectivity. Finally, addresses women's & men's interests concluding that divided gendered subjectivities work against women's (and men's) fundamental interests & needs. Comprehending this allows for a deeper critique of all forms of essentialist & dualistic thinking in the pursuit of a unified human solidarity. R. Rodriguez
