Therefore, with a society at last in the feminine gender meaning nonpower (and not power-to-the-women), it would be proved that no other human group could have brought about the ecological revolution; because none other was so directly concerned at all levels. And the two sources of wealth which up until now have benefited only the male would once again become the expression of life and no longer the elaboration of death; and human beings would finally be treated first as persons, and not above all else as male or female.
And the planet in the feminine gender would become green again for all.
Translated by Betty Schmitz
From Le féminisme ou la mort [Feminism or death] ( Horay, 1974).
