| Abstract | ||
| The ecofeminist theory has become a new genre in theatrical studies. It integrates the feminist theory with the ecological theory to study and address all types of dominance. Therefore, it is an ideology that links patriarchal and capitalist supremacy to climate change, gender equality, and social injustice. This paper tries to apply the ecofeminist theory to Caridad Svich’s play The Way of the World (2013) to show how women have been depicted in environmental injustice. It tries to reveal the main reason for women and nature’s oppression. Caridad Svich, who won the 2023 Flora Roberts Award from The Dramatists Guild, is a US Latina playwright who has written more than 50 plays and has received many prizes that testify to her success. In her play The Way of Water, Svich depicts how ecological disasters affects humans and nonhumans. This paper tries to focus on the effect of that ecological crises on women as well as nature and to expose the dominant power which causes their degradation. | ||
