Abstract
The French feminist Fancois d` Eaubonne first coined the term ecofeminism in 1974 in her book Le Feminisme ou la Mort. Ecofeminism is a relatively new part of the feminist movement, evolving out of political activism over the past three decades. Peace marches, anti-nuclear protests, environmental and animal liberation movementsand world hunger activism have raised the consciousness of many. A range of theoretical positions has emerged from this movement, resting on the assumption that there are critical connections between the domination of nature and of women. In this article, principles and characteristics of ecofeminism, ecology, feminism, environmental ethics and several ecofeminist movements have been critically discussed.
