Abstract

During roughly the past 15 years, a variety of issues dealing with women's environmental interests, uses, and concerns has been elaborated, conceptualized, and studied empirically, with sensitive and comprehensive reviews integrating this substance at regular intervals (cf. Hapgood & Gedzels, 1974; Palm & Pred, 1974; Hayden, 1980; Saegert, 1980; Wekerle, 1980; Zelinsky, Monk, & Hanson, 1982; McClain, 1984; Wekerle, 1984; Peterson, 1986; Moser, 1987; Peterson, 1987; Andrew & Milroy, 1988; Franck, 1988; Franck & Paxson, 1989). Although reviews are essential to communicate an important set of considerations and their knowledge base to a public that has not as yet fully understood and incorporated them, I shall not attempt one here, at least directly.
