Learn moreFrom elder voices opposing the Dakota Pipeline to young people running for office to advocate for change, every day we see real-life stories about how women are making a collective difference on climate justice. Women are also disproportionately impacted by climate change and thus are critical to transforming society away from dependence on fossil fuels and toward renewable energy and environmental equity.
As a mother and a professor of environmental education, Mallory McDuff wanted to give her two daughters and her students a roadmap to engage in climate justice in their communities, rather than be left feeling paralyzed by the enormity of the problem. She set out to find women of diverse ages, backgrounds, and vocations—one from each of the fifty US states—as inspiration for a new kind of leadership focused on the heart of the climate crisis. Love Your Mother lifts up the stories of these women working toward a viable future, from farmer and rancher Donna Kilpatrick in Arkansas to writer Latria Graham in South Carolina.
From Alabama to Alaska, from Wisconsin to Wyoming, these women are poets, physicians, climate scientists, students, farmers, writers, documentary filmmakers, and more. Their work lights the way for conversation and collective action in our homes and in the world. It's time we follow their lead.
Mallory McDuff teaches environmental education at Warren Wilson College outside Asheville, North Carolina. With her two daughters, she lives on campus in a 900-square-foot house with an expansive view of the Appalachian Mountains. She is the author of five books, including Our Last Best Act: Planning for the End of Our Lives to Protect the People and Places We Love. Her essays have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, WIRED, and more.
Lu Banks is no stranger to using her voice-first as a classically trained singer, sometimes as an historical interpreter, and always as a soother of children-and is thrilled to have made the transition from voracious audiobook listener to passionate audiobook narrator. As a narrator, Lu marries her life experiences as a mother, museum director, social services provider, and writer with a passion for bringing words to life with a voice that has been described as soothing, warm, and eminently comforting. When she's not locked in her tiny padded booth, Lu can be found outside in the forest, working tirelessly for social justice causes, cooking things she can't pronounce, and nurturing neighborhood kids and pets.
