Abstract | Women have been bracketed together with Nature from time immemorial. They bond together brilliantly well. It is as if women have been successful in fashioning for themselves a language and a disposition which makes them echo in words or in actions in the pulsating spirit inhabiting the heart of Mother Nature. Mother Nature is a common representation of nature that focuses on the life-giving and nurturing features of nature by embodying it in the form of the mother. Image of women representing Mother Earth, and Mother Nature are timeless. In pre-historic time, goddesses were worshipped for their association with fertility, prolificacy and agricultural bounty. Earth is a generous mother; she will provide, in plentiful abundance, food and shelter for all her children if they will but cultivate her soil in justice and in peace. Some feminists distinguish between the reasons why women relate to nature and why it's not because they're "feminine" or because they are women. Instead, it is a result of the same male-dominant force oppressing both of them in comparable ways. The animalized vocabulary used to describe women and the gendered language used to describe nature both demonstrate the marginalization of these groups. Certain discourses attribute women's historic social role as nurturers and caregivers to the environment. According to Vandana Shiva, women have a unique relationship with the environment that has been overlooked because of their everyday encounters with it. According to her, women in subsistence economies who produce "wealth in partnership with nature, have been experts in their own right of holistic and ecological knowledge of nature's processes." |
