Abstract

Ecofeminism or "eco-feminism" is a "postmodernist" and "poststructuralist" approach. This approach, which emerged from the intersection of the third wave of feminism and environmental studies with a deconstructive view of "post-structuralism", tries to explain the connection between women and nature with a cultural and social approach and to analyze the reasons for the emergence and emergence of this connection. In social ecofeminism, the main premise is that women, other subordinate classes of society and nature, have been oppressed and exploited by the power structures in the domination system, and the worldview of the ruling ruler is dominated by women and subordinate types. "social" behaves the same as "natural" subordinates; that's mean; Environmental resources. Klidar Mahmoud Dolatabadi's novel is a social and climatic novel in which the author has addressed the issues of women and their ecological identity in the shadow of the patriarchal ruling discourse, as well as the issues related to the ecosystem and climate of the Khorasan region. This research, with a descriptive-analytical approach, seeks to express the symbolic and real connection of women with nature and the relationship of men with women and nature in the shadow of this connection, in Klider's novel with a social approach. The findings of the research show that the system of patriarchal domination has a homogenous and utilitarian approach towards women and the elements of nature and everything that is considered "other" in their discourse. The woman and the earth are under simultaneous domination in the sense that they provide the causes of men's power.
