Ecofeminism explores the connections between the domination of women and the domination of nature. For example, patriarchal culture denigrates women as natural and animalistic, thereby reinforcing sexism and speciesism simultaneously. Moreover, patriarchal culture disempowers the women who comprise an estimated 70 percent of the world's farmers and are therefore best poised to understand and protect the Earth.
The term "ecofeminism" was apparently coined by Francoise D’Eaubonne in 1974 [1], although Janet Biehl says Murray Bookchin coined it.[2] Prominent ecofeminists have included Judi Bari, Greta Gaard, Maria Mies, Val Plumwood, Ariel Salleh, and Vandana Shiva.
