  • An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das
    SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.24113/ijellh.v9i1.10892 Green Shades of Feminity: An Ecofeministic Study of Selected Poems of Sugathakumari and Kamala Das Midhuna M Suresh MA English Language and Literature University of Kerala Kerala, India [email protected] Sreejitha P S MA English and Comparative Literature Pondicherry Central University Pondicherry, India [email protected] Abstract The discourse on feminism and ecology is familiar in literary studies as well as in socio- cultural scenario. But it seldom merged with each other-it has probably only been five decades since Indian literature has started discussing Eco feminism. Eco feminism, in short, blends the theories of feminism and ecology. This research paper critically analyses poems of the prolific Indian writers Sugathakumari and Kamala Das who always fought for upholding the women’s issues and conserving the nature. The paper aims to study their writings through the lenses of Ecofeminism, to treat them as their unabashed political commentaries on women and nature. Keywords: Sugathakumari, Kamala Das, Eco feminism, Environment, Women, Poetry. www.ijellh.com e-ISSN: 2582-3574 p-ISSN: 2582-4406 206 SMART MOVES JOURNAL IJELLH Vol. 9, Issue 1, January 2021 1. Introduction Ecofeminism is a philosophical and political movement which combines the ideals of feminism and ecology, interpreting both as a result of the patriarchal society. “Ecofeminism is a movement that sees a connection between the exploitation and degradation of the natural world and the subordination and oppression of women.”(Mellor). The term Ecofeminism was first coined by Françoise d’ Eaubonne in 1974 in her contentious work Le Feminismeoula Morte.
