| Ecofeminism: Ecofeminism is a branch of feminism and environmentalism that draws connections between the subjugation of women and the degradation of the environment. Ecofeminists argue that both stem from a patriarchal worldview that values domination and control over nature and women.

Véronique Mottier on Ecofeminism - Dictionary of Arguments
Gaus I 282 Ecofeminism/Mottier: Ecofeminism (...) draws upon the idea of women having different dispositions, which can serve as a basis for public morality - in this case, the care for nature with which women have conventionally been associated. In the same way that it is rare nowadays to find feminists who feel comfortable with the much-derided label of essentialism, most ecofeminists also argue that women's traditional association with 'nature' rather than 'culture' can be evaluated positively, while routinely rejecting the charge that this necessarily entails an essentialist position (for example, Sturgeon, 1997)(1). Cf. >Gender/Anti-essentialism. 1. Sturgeon, Noel (1997) Ecofeminist Natures. New York: Routledge. Véronique Mottier 2004. „Feminism and Gender Theory: The Return of the State“.
