Abstract The main idea of this paper is that Rebecca Solnit’s book-length works can help the reader to look differently at our relationship with nature in the context of climate change. In her book, Savage Dreams (1994), Wanderlust (1999), A Field Guide to Getting Lost (2005), and The Faraway Nearby (2013), she narrates stories from her life, in which she describes her ties with the planet as well as her environmentalist activities over a period of two decades. According to Ecofeminism, it is necessary for human beings to have a good relationship with nature. She argues for the necessity of curbing development in order to protect marginalized groups and preserve nature as well. Solnit’s work compels us to revise our habits, customs and beliefs at community level, hence making a call for a collective shift towards sustainability and equal rights. Through vivid tales and insightful reasoning, she provides guidance on how we can reimagine ourselves within nature so that we may develop compassion, activism as well as structural change, all geared towards tackling environmental problems of our time. The paper seeks therefore to show how Solnit’s ecofeminist ideas are useful in modern day conversations of environmental policy making and social justice.
