Ecofeminism is an umbrella term which cannot be reduced to an essentialist drama which is frozen at one caricatured historical moment .It has roots in the complex relations of power and can serve as a powerful agent of change for the burning issues of environmental concern like global warming and climate change. It can bridge the disconnect between theory and practice. The book uncovers the history of ecofeminist theory .The texts under scrutiny reveal how the exploitation of nature, oppression of women, colonialism and racism are tied together in an intractable knot .Atwood's novels highlight how the exploitation of women and nature has seeped into the Canadian consciousness while Walker through her faith in earth-based spirituality and preservation of indigenous cultures offers some solutions to worldwide sexism and colonialism.
