Theoretical Study On Ecofeminism And Gender Politics

Abstract

The term "Eco-feminism" has only been around for the last three decades, yet it bridges two very important ideologies: environmentalism and sexism. The word "ecology," from which we get the prefix "eco," refers to the scientific study of the interactions between Earth's living creatures and nonliving environments (also known as "biotic" and "abiotic" variables). The biological sciences' study of the natural environment is where the term "ecology" first appeared. According to Diamond and Orenstein, "a new term for ancient wisdom," ecocriticism is just that. This ethical framework investigates the entanglements of androcentrism and ecological devastation. The concept was created in the 1980s by activists and scholars involved in a variety of social organizations.
