This volume features a variety of primary sources by nineteenth-century women from around the globe, whose work focuses on the varied interconnections between gender and the environment. The collection considers the role women writers and artists in the long-nineteenth century that have played in the areas of natural history, and examines such topics as nineteenth-century female botanists; garden bowers and the entrapped woman; human-animal interactions (HAI); anthropocene feminism; evolutionary biology; geobiology; the female body as a biologic commodity; feminist panarchy; new materialisms and female responses to disease and matter. Accompanied by extensive editorial commentary, this volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of Women's History and Environmental History.
