This paper focuses on the ecofeminism adopted by Margaret Atwood in her novel The Hand Maid’s Tale and Toni Morrison in her novel Tar Baby. The novels of Atwood deal with environmental crisis as well as the oppression of women in a male dominated society. Morrison adopts ecofeminism in her novels to impart a healthy relationship between women and nature for a harmonious living on this earth. Atwood discusses the male control over female reproduction in her novel. Woman and nature are equated as both are life-giving. Atwood echoes the call for an unprejudiced society, where rights of women and the laws of nature may be well protected. The conflict between nature and civilization runs throughout Morrison’s novel. Morrison wants the eco-conscious people to protect the nature and native culture.
