This paper offers ecofeminism as an approach to solving our current environmental crises. Ecofeminism, a product of second-wave feminism, is a segment of feminist theory that sees a philosophical as well as practical connection between the way women and nature are treated under patriarchy. Thus, it argues that we cannot end the environmental crisis unless we also put an end to patriarchy. In order to clearly illustrate how ecofeminism functions on the theoretical and activist levels, this paper examines a select number of historical examples. These participants, causes, or movements come from environmental activism either under Communism and shortly after the Velvet Revolution. For each example chosen, this paper will explain how it fits the parameters of ecofeminist thought. Finally, because ecofeminist theory contains within it a very clear critique of both feminism and the green movement, this paper examines the current state of the world and offers ecofeminist suggestions as to where from here environmental activism must go, that is if we still want an inhabitable world in a few years time.
