Abstract

By challenging patriarchal worldviews and anthropocentric ideology and advocating for new, more harmonious relationships among humans, non-humans, and the natural world, ecofeminism tries to understand the connection between genders and environmental degradation. Anthropocentrism and patriarchy are shown to be the primary causes of the oppression of women and the natural world by men, and a biocentric worldview is advocated as a solution. This study, which compares Doris Lessing's The Grass is Singing and Margaret Atwood's The Edible Woman, focuses on the tragic endings shared by women and the natural world in both novels. When reexamined via the lens of ecofeminism, the two works reveal a shared concern for the welfare of women and the natural world, as well as a critique of patriarchal society's destructive effects on both.
