ecofeminism
Women-nature liberation theory
Ecofeminism is a philosophical and political movement linking environmentalism with feminism, arguing that the exploitation of nature and the oppression of women stem from the same patriarchal mindset.
Both are seen as resources to be dominated and controlled.
The term emerged in the 1970s: Ecofeminism challenges the assumption that humans have dominion over the natural world.
