21. "Ecotopia" by Ernest Callenbach
Ecotopia describes an ecological utopia that is
carved out of the northwest portion of the United States.
The book is written through the eyes of William Weston,
a journalist who is sent into wild Ecotopia both to report
back to the rest of the United States about exactly what
has happened in the new nation since their secession and,
sub-rosa, to try and persuade the Ecotopians to re-unite
with the United States.

Although written by a man, Ecotopia is often cited
as the first "Ecofeminist" novel, taking a sharply pro-
woman, pro-ecology point of view throughout.
