Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Rachel Donald was sixteen years old when a man pinned her in an alleyway and raped her.

Over a decade later, Rachel was reporting from a conservation event in Papua New Guinea when she came to understand that the local population were being dangerously misled about a forthcoming methane gas project planned by a French energy company. As Rachel saw an indigenous group waiting patiently to entertain the foreign dignitaries, unaware of the violence about to be enacted on their environment, the horror of her own experience came rushing back to her and she understood something for the first time: violence against women and violence against our planet are not separate. They are intricately, dangerously entwined.
In Her Body, Our Choice, Rachel draws on science, myth, history, philosophy and law to explore the ways in which violence against women and violence against the planet are inextricable expressions of entitlement and power - and calls on us to resist both.
Impassioned, exhilarating and visionary, Her Body, Our Choice is a ground-breaking work of feminist thought. It is set to inspire a generation of women and activists - and to become a future classic.
