Ecofeminism in the 21st Century Relevance in the Modern Era Insert Name Insert Date Contents Abstract This paper will seek to investigate the relevance of ecofeminism in the 21st century.

According to Randa Abdel-Fattah‚ the author of Ending oppression in the Middle East: A Muslim feminist call to arms‚ if women have to cover themselves from head to toe‚ why are women still being sexualized if they aren’t provoking? Women still are being groped‚ raped‚ harassed‚ and fondled by men. Fattah goes on to explain that she believes men are hypocritical.

The Gilead government took everything from the women in The Handmaid’s Tale: their possessions‚ their rights‚ their freedoms‚ even their identities. Moira gave her all to resist the regime‚ and although in the end she seems to have given up‚ her efforts were certainly heroic. Even back when things were normal‚ Moira was a rebellious spirit. Offred‚ the narrator‚ makes it clear that she is fiercely independent; a lesbian that certainly didn’t have any need for males in her life. It’s not clear exactly
