An Ecological Feminist Interpretation of Fusang by Yan Ge Ling

Ecological feminism, a synthesis of feminism and eco-activism, primarily reveals the coexistence of nature and women under patriarchy as subjects of domination. While Yan Ge-ling has not explicitly identified herself as an ecological feminist, her numerous literary works demonstrate a distinctive ecological feminist consciousness. This paper employs a combination of textual close reading and eco-feminist criticism to analyze Yan Ge-ling's representative novel "Fusang", delving into the relationships between women and nature, society, and men while uncovering deeper cultural implications.
