Summary/Abstract: Founding sisters is a term used and defined by the American sociologist and heiress Jane Addams, Mary Jo Deegan, to target the demarginalization of female-centric sociological theory. Though more than 52 women are regarded as the founders of sociology, they are still insufficiently known and acknowledged in sociology, particularly in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ecofeminist movement was founded during the radical and turbulent social changes of the early 1980s. The aftermath of war, global environmental movements and minority rights movements have joined forces to create significant subversion and an imitative position towards the phallo-centric patriarchally-based theories of the ecofeminist movement. Major authors such as Val Plumwood, Karen J. Warren, Martha Kheel, Yenestra King, Françoise d’Eaubonne and Vandana Shiva have written about the ecological feminist movement, drawing attention to the need for scientific cognition of the way in which the logic of domination and oppression of women and nature is institutionalized. The logic of domination, with its objectification, imperialism, colonialism, patriarchy and Western European racism, must give way to the logic of care, as the prevailing concept for achieving successful bioregional cooperation, interpersonal relationships, pacification and peace agreements.
