“An Ecofeminist Analysis Of Doris Lessing's Martha Quest”

Abstract

           The ecofeminist reading of Martha Quest has revealed how the novel serves as a powerful critique of capitalism, colonialism, and patriarchy. It has clearly demonstrated their role in perpetuating systems of oppression for women and nature. By highlighting these interconnections, the paper has shown that a more holistic approach is required for both gender and environmental justice as reflected in the novel. In conclusion, the paper has found that Lessing’s Martha Quest offers a powerful critique of patriarchal and exploitative systems and paints a vision for a better future for all.
