Subversion of the logic of domination in Margaret Atwood and Forūğ Farroḵzād

الملخص EN

Parallel to the approach of feminism that situates women's concerns as the pivotal ground, ecofeminism adds the violation of nature by human beings to the patriarchal suppression of women in society.

as such, the “logic of domination” that sanctions and justifies the subordination of both women and nature spreads the veins of ecofeminism.

the study at hand aptly selected the works of two environmental female writers Margaret Atwood's surfacing (1972) and Forūğ Farroḵzād's “I pity the garden” to be studied with the lenses of ecofeminism.

therefore, the inferiority of women sided with the subordination of nature as the binary logic that perpetuates patriarchy are fully illustrated in a comparative study wherein the role of patriarchy as the reinforcement of anthropocentrism in the subordination of nature is revealed to the reader.
