She has been called a pioneer in the concept of ecopsychology—the belief that promoting environmentalism is healthy.^[1][2] She is a social-change activist with an emphasis on feminism, bioregionalism, and indigenous rights.^[3] She promotes human cultures which are land-based and confined to bioregions, and is a critic of the use of technology.^[4]

In 2007 Glendinning's bilingual folk opera De Un Lado Al Otro, was presented at the Lensic Theater in Santa Fe, New Mexico.^[5]

Glendinning graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in social sciences in 1969.^[6] She received her doctorate in psychology from Columbia Pacific University.^[7]
