Aspects of Ecofeminism in the Poetry of Fadwa Tuqan and Linda Hogan

Summary/Abstract: Eco feminism, otherwise known as “ecological feminism”, defines a branch of the feminist theory that explores the inter connectedness of two fundamental considerations- nature and women. The name ‘eco feminism’ can best be conceptualized as the authorship of Françoise d’Eaubonne, a French feminist whose work emphasized the connection between social and environmental matters. Unlike the feminist theory whose major concern is addressing the oppressions of women in society, ecofeminism uses the fundamental feminist characteristics of gender equality. It represents a revaluation of the nonlinear or non-patriarchal structure, and shows a great respect for organic processes to foster the value of collaboration, holistic connectedness, and the benefits of intuition.
