Revisits the importance of four books published in the late 1970s that sought to reappraise women authors & their literary output: (1) Patricia Spack's (1975) The Female Imagination; (2) Ellen Moers's (1976) Literary Women; (3) Elaine Showalter's (1977) A Literature of Their Own; & (4) Sandra Gilbert & Susan Gubar's (1979) The Madwoman in the Attic. The impetus for these critical works is located in early feminist books that also addressed literary subjects: Mary Ellman's (1968) Thinking about Women & Kate Millett's (1970) Sexual Politics. The impact of all these works on establishing women's literature as a valid literary & cultural enterprise is discussed. K. Hyatt Stewart

Ecofeminism, a new vein in feminist theory, critiques the ontology of domination, whereby living beings are reduced to the status of objects, which diminishes their moral significance, enabling their exploitation, abuse, and destruction. This article explores the possibility of an ecofeminist literary and cultural practice, whereby the text is not reduced to an "it" but rather recognized as a "thou," and where new modes of relationship—dialogue, conversation, and meditative attentiveness—are developed.
