O Ecofeminismo na Educación Ambiental en España

Abstract

O artigo explora o papel dos movementos ecofeministas no desenvolvemento da Educación ambiental, os seus antecedentes, a súa definición e ás mulleres españolas que representan este movemento. Nos anos 70, coincidindo na época na que por primeira vez foi acuñado o termo Educación Ambiental, nace o movemento ecofeminista da man da francesa Françoise d’Eaubonne. Indagando na información das voces ecofeministas españolas, preténdese analizar as orixes e consecuencias do ecofeminismo na sociedade e a súa repercusión na historia da EA española. Existen moitas mulleres que de forma activa levaron a cabo unha ardua loita pola protección do ambiente e da natureza e pola manifestación da importancia que tiña o medio natural no ámbito educativo. Un claro exemplo foron as irmáns Blanca e Clotilde Catalán ou Leonor Serrano Pablo e Gloria Giner de los Ríos. Na actualidade destacan as ecofeministas Alicia Puleo e Yayo Herrero.
