Root Explanation

Ecofeminist → It is formed from "eco-" (from Greek "oikos", meaning house or environment) and "feminist" (from Latin "femina", meaning woman). The term combines the idea of environmentalism with feminism, suggesting a perspective that connects the exploitation of nature with the oppression of women.

Memory Tip

Think of 'eco-' relating to the environment ('oikos' means house) and 'feminist' focusing on women ('femina' means woman). This helps you remember that an ecofeminist advocates for the connection between women's rights and environmental issues.
