Wo(men) and Bears

This book revisists classic debates in feminist, cultural, and Indigenous studies regarding gender, nature, and culture. A collection of essays, poetry, art, drama, and fiction that focuses on the mythological, academic, ethnographic, aesthetic, and socio-historic relations between women and bears by scholars, storytellers, poets, and artists from many cultures and backgrounds. Cross-cultural variants point to traces of powerful but suppressed worldviews where humans and animals are interdependent and equal aspects of the ecological chain of being.
