An examination of Western history reveals the foundations for queer ecofeminism. More than any other period the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries clarify the conceptual links between the oppression of women, the erotic and nature. The author argues that a careful reading of several movements of domination which reached a peak during a same historical period in Western Europe will lead to the roots of an ideology in which the erotic queer sexualities, women, persons of color and nature are all conceptually linked.
