One of the first to explore the scientific revolution through the lens of feminist ecology, the book discusses how new definitions of science and technology have perpetrated the degradation of both nature and women. Merchant, a professor emerita in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management (ESPM), wrote The Death of Nature in 1980.
In a recent article in Public Books, Paula Findlen, a Berkeley alumna of the history department, discusses Merchant’s groundbreaking work and its outsized influence on the field. Forty years after the publication of Carolyn Merchant’s The Death of Nature, the book remains a central text of ecofeminism and ecology.
