Title of the paper : Women and Mother Nature: A Philosophical Insights Into the Second Gender

Abstract: Women and Nature is often considered to possess the same gender traits, thereby given a Motherly figure and status to Nature. Since decades, their shared relationships have been cognized and personify the Earth as a nurturing, female deity, highlighting a shared capacity for creation, cyclical life, and sustenance. In human realm, women are lens through societal eyes as inferior, powerless and weaker being, and so women are subjected to oppression and domination by men. Likewise, Mother Nature can be seen oppressed, exploited and misused by humans. Hence, this papers aims to explore and give philosophical insights into the interconnectedness of women and Mother Nature, examining the eco feminist perspective where the patriarchal worldview oppressed both women and nature by objectifying and treating them as resources to be dominated and exploited. It also aims to foster a new philosophical paradigm centered on mutual respect and interconnectedness between humanity and the environment, with the female experience as its guiding principle.
