Ecofeminism
Ecofeminism is a branch of feminism that encompasses the concepts of ecology and feminism. Although the term originated in the 1970s, many consider that ecofeminist practices have existed for much longer. Just as it is customary to speak of feminisms in the plural rather than feminism, ecofeminists will often use the term in the plural, to represent the diversity of experiences and points of view. Most agree that there is a connection (spiritual, material, or both) between the oppressions experienced by women and environmental destruction.
