Abstract
This paper attempts to explore a critical analysis of ecofeminism theory and the principles of dystopian literature in Diane Wilson’s The Seed Keeper (2021). It goes to examine the interconnection between the subjugation of women and the environment, focusing on the oppression of women, the exploitation of nature, the patriarchal and capitalist structures. It aims at describing the ecofeminist themes of resilience and power criticizing the dualistic hierarchies advocating for a social shift towards compassionate values that respect both women and the environment. It endeavors to clarify how The Seed Keeper portrays the Dakota women and their deep connection to the land, highlighting the traditional practices of seed-keeping and cultural resilience and environmental stewardship. It also addresses the intersectionality by revealing the compounded oppression confronted by Indigenous women, and it depicts the resistance and empowering woman throughout the protagonist’s journey of reclaiming her heritage and reconnecting with the land.
