Environmental feminist theory (EFT) is one of the latest and most diverse and richest critical currents within the feminist intellectual framework, through its various approaches; EFT reflects unique treatments to the contemporary environmental problems, especially the need to transfer feminist criticism from the mere rejection of repressive patriarchy system to talking about the role that women can play in exposing the dangerous dimensions of global environmental crises caused by patriarchal exclusivity that leads to unfair exploitation of natural resources, polluting nature and destroying ecological capital, and the need to restore the balance to the existing relationship between men and women on the planet earth, according to an environmental approach in which subordination and tutelage are denied, and the feminist viewpoint is listened to with its multiple entrances; Be it liberal or radical. The structure of the study is that the study was divided into three main sections, to which sub-questions were added: The first section was devoted to general and quick introductory purposes, while the second section was devoted to examining the development of the concept of feminism. The third and most important section dealt extensively with the most important forms into which environmental feminist theory has branched, while highlighting the criticisms directed at this theory.
