Abstract

Using Ecofeminism as a lens, the article examines Charlotte Bronte's novel, Jane Eyre, which explores the relationship between women and nature, exposing the tragedy that results when women and the environment are repressed and exploited by men. Using the term "protoecofeminist text" in the article, the argument is that Bronte's work is an early example of an ecofeminist text. This article explains how Ecofeminism as a theory connects the erosion of women's identities to the exploitation of the environment. It also demonstrates Charlotte Bronte's aim of creating an equitable and harmonious society for men and women, liberating women and nature, and fostering women's self-consciousness
