Abstract

This paper is an attempt to trace the history of ecofeminism in Western, African, and Indian contexts. A comparative study is conducted between Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver, We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo, and Eating Wasps by Anita Nair. The paper also demonstrates how the selected works can depict the notions of ecofeminism in Appalachia, Zimbabwe, and Kerala. This literary theory is tackled in brief in the theoretical framework of this paper. This paper is based on one major pillar. The first pillar deals with the parallelism and interconnection between women and nature. The selected works also shed light on the situation of women in patriarchal societies and how their lives are affected tremendously by ecological devastation in different contexts. In India, nature is perceived as a mirror of women's lives. The effects of chauvinistic attitudes and tribal traditions on Indian women are also traced in this dissertation.
