Aspects of Eco-feminism in Revathi’s Musical Plants: A Study

Abstract

This research paper examines some aspects of eco-feminism in an anonymous story Revathi’s Musical Plants which has been featured in the Balbharati grade 8th English textbook. It states the necessity and pedagogical significance of this paper. The paper argues that ecofeminism has emerged as a study of the relationship between nature and women. The literary texts are useful to understand this relationship and can help to instil values and make the current generation aware of ecological issues. The paper also argues that women and nature suffer in a patriarchal environment. The patriarchal minds oppress, exploit, discriminate, and eventually destroy nature and women.
