“Women of all backgrounds—artists, writers, scientists, policy makers, and others—are at the forefront of climate action, and with this exquisite anthology, marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and editor-in-chief of Project Drawdown, Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, bring their voices together.” |
“Taken together, the breadth of their voices forms a mosaic that honors the complexity of the climate crisis like few, if any, books on the topic have done yet. [...] The book is a feast of ideas and perspectives, setting a big table for the climate movement, declaring all are welcome.” |
“All We Can Save is the environmental feminist text we need right now [...] It's a sorely needed glimmer of hope—a reminder that there is a way out of this mess: collective action. [...] Consider it required reading.” |
“The [...] anthology is an anthem for the world—at once a battle cry and unifying hymn, a mournful melody and a song of salvation that will ring true for generations to come.” |
