This research draws from an ecofeminist perspective, and this narrative provides an understanding of how female characters navigate their relationships with nature and resist morality, justice, and harm to the environment. Anita Desai's "Fire on the Mountain" and "Where Are We Going This Summer?" Illustrations of women seeking comfort, function and tone exploration in physical space are presented. Desai's heroes travel the rugged terrain of the Himalayas and the serene coasts of India, escaping the constraints of patriarchy in the splendor of the natural world. Through these narratives, Desai demonstrates that women engage with their environment and challenge notions of women and culture by questioning genderless forces of power and respect. In Coffer Dams, Kamala Markandaya explores the dangers of intervening in the world, particularly through head design. The intersection of gender, class, and environmental injustice is exacerbated by Markandaya's female characters who face the loss of ancestral lands and ecosystems. Markandaya turned away from the advocates of patriarchal music and feminist ecological practice, whose struggles included the voices of marginalized groups. Examine how female characters are images of women that differ slightly from natural interaction. By analyzing these narratives, we can reveal the flexibility of ecofeminism in literature and its protective value for environmental promotion and justice.
