Abstract: The current articles evaluates the relationship between environment, literature, and gender from the point of view of ecofeminism. It highlights the impact of literary text on ecological concerns and gendered experiences by examining both the mistreatment of nature and marginalization of women under male dominated and capitalist systems. Romanticism and Transcendentalism exhibits early literary connection with nature as a means of moral and spiritual guidance. Ecological crises such as climate change, deforestation, and pollution have been questioned by the Postcolonial and cotemporary ecofiction Based on the ecofeminist theorists like Vandana Shiva, Carolyn Merchant, Maria Mies, Ariel Salleh, and Greta Gaard, this article reflects that literature is not only an artistic reflection of human nature relations but also a tool for ecological consciousness and social justice advocacy. The ecofeminist reading of literary texts highlight that sustainability and gender equality are attached goals and the literature offers both ethical reflection and transformative prospective to voice ecological and social crises.
