Women and Environment: An Ecofeminist View

Women are the milestones of our society, though they work in every sphere of life. No one can be denied their contribution to the family. Our society makes a borderline for them due to gender bias. Women depend on the environment for their household work, because of which they have a deep attachment to nature. They collect more natural resources than men. The loss of the environment directly impacts women. This paper tries to understand the relationship between women and the environment.
