This chapter traces the damaging effects of critiques of essentialism on eco/feminism, taking the palpable disappointment of the 1990s onward as a departure point for an exploration of histories of, and possible futures for, eco/feminism. It focuses on the ways in which eco/feminists described eco/feminism before the critique of essentialism became prevalent, pointing to accounts of eco/feminist diversity and the centrality the stories of global grassroots activism. The chapter also focuses on how eco/feminists have responded to feminist critiques of essentialism, through juxtaposing the figures of Francoise d'Eaubonne and Vandana Shiva, in her role popularizing the Chipko Movement. The attribution of the naming of 'ecofeminism' to d'Eaubonne has appeared as problematic when compared with the prominence once accorded to the Chipko movement. Finally, the chapter considers the emergence of 'new materialism' as an intriguing site through which to reflect on eco/feminism today
