Echoing other articles in this special issue, this article re-evaluates a collection of feminist works that fell out of fashion as a consequence of academic feminism embracing poststructuralist and postmodernist trends. In line with fellow contributors, the article critically reflects upon the unsympathetic reading of feminisms considered to be essentialising and universalistic, in order to re-evaluate, in my case, ecofeminism. As an introduction, I reflect on my own perhaps unfair rejection of ecofeminism as a doctoral researcher and early career academic who, in critiquing 1990s international environmental governance, sought to problematise the essentialist premise on which it appeared to be based. The article thereafter challenges this well-rehearsed critique by carefully revisiting a sample of ecofeminist work produced between the late 1970s and the early 1990s. In an effort to avoid wholesale abandonment of the wealth of feminist theory often labelled as second wave, or the rendering of feminisms of the past as redundant as feminist theory changes over time, this article re-reads the work of ecofeminists, such as Starhawk, Susan Griffin and Vandana Shiva, to demonstrate their contemporary relevance. In so doing, the article argues that a contemporary re-reading of ecofeminism offers insights allowing for a radical rethinking of contemporary environmental governance.

与本期特刊中的其他文章一样，本文重新评估了由于学术女性主义拥抱后结构主义和后现代主义潮流而衰落的一系列女性主义作品。与其他撰稿人一样，该文章批判性地反思了对女性主义的冷漠理解，认为这是至关重要的和普遍主义的，以便在我的情况下重新评价生态女性主义。作为引言，我反思自己对生态女性主义的不公平对待，认为她是博士研究人员和早期职业学者，他们在批评1990年代的国际环境治理时，试图质疑生态女性主义所基于的前提。此后，文章通过仔细地回顾了1970年代末至1990年代初间产生的生态女性主义工作的样本，对这一经过充分演练的批评提出了挑战。为了避免大规模抛弃通常被称为第二波的女权主义理论财富，或避免随着女权主义理论随着时间的变化而将过去的女权主义渲染为多余，本文重新阅读了诸如Starhawk，苏珊·格里芬（Susan Griffin）和范达娜·希瓦（Vandana Shiva）展示了他们的当代意义。这样做，文章认为，当代对生态女性主义的重新解读提供了深刻的见解，可以对当代环境治理进行彻底的反思。或随着女权主义理论随着时间的变化而改变过去的女权主义，本文重新阅读了诸如Starhawk，Susan Griffin和Vandana Shiva等生态女权主义者的著作，以证明其当代意义。这样做，文章认为，当代对生态女性主义的重新解读提供了深刻的见解，可以对当代环境治理进行彻底的反思。或随着女权主义理论随着时间的变化而改变过去的女权主义，本文重新阅读了诸如Starhawk，Susan Griffin和Vandana Shiva等生态女权主义者的著作，以证明其当代意义。这样做，文章认为，当代对生态女性主义的重新解读提供了深刻的见解，可以对当代环境治理进行彻底的反思。
