We walk on new terrain by treating feminist manifestos as original sources worthy of the kind of careful exegetical analysis political theorists generally bring to original political texts, and we read them in light of one another on the topic of environmentalism. These group-authored documents develop and argue for a distinctive feminist approach to the environment. They offer their views as expert testimony, knowledge grounded in material experiences in particular places and communities. The manifestos effectively broaden environmentalism by insisting that understandings of the problems and development of solutions recognize the expertise of Indigenous women and peasant food producers, hear the stories of those experiencing the worst effects of environmental degradation, and build on those who are already developing adaptive measures.
