An Analysis of Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s the Forest of Enchantments from An Ecofeminist Standpoint

Eco-feminism primarily concerns itself with the subjugation of nature by the human race, as well as the oppression of women in society. It specifically focuses on the domination of the patriarchal society both on women and nature. Therefore, it examines not only the dominance of men over women, but also the dominance of human beings over nature. This research aims to interpret Divakaruni's The Forest of Enchantments from an eco-feminist perspective, using Young's five faces of oppression as a framework for analysis.
