Overview
Maria Mies’ achievements include developing groundbreaking praxis and theory around the concept of “housewifisation”, the violence of colonisation and profound writings about ecofeminism. She fights the Multilateral Agreement of Investment, she fights the General Agreement on Trade in Services, she fights against the patenting of life and tackles reproductive and genetic engineering as well as food security, but she never gives up hope that there is an alternative to present day injustice and exploitation; that “the good life” is possible.

Reviews
Maria Mies' vision is huge, the scale of her project breathtakingly bold. --New Internationalist on Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale A beautiful journey between two remote poles: the Self and the World. This book is inspiring and creative. I hope it is widely read. --Nawal El Saadawi, author, The Hidden Face of Eve I am so glad Maria Mies has written the story of her life. All along Maria has been a courageous thinker, and through her life story we understand why. --Vandana Shiva, Sydney Peace Prize-winner and author, Staying Alive This beautifully expressed work delivers an inspiring personal and political odyssey across half a century's geopolitical landscape. A wonderful book. --Jerry Mander, founder, International Forum on Globalization, and author, In the Absence of the Sacred
