This paper analyzes N.K. Jemisin's Broken Earth trilogy as a feminist ecopolitical allegory that links environmental injustice to systemic oppression. Drawing on ecofeminist theory, postcolonial critique, and narrative analysis, the study explores how Jemisin's depiction of the Anthropocene foregrounds the intertwined exploitation of the Earth and marginalized bodies, particularly women and orogenes. The Sanzed Empire's extractive systems mirror real-world structures of capitalism, colonialism, and racial hierarchy, while the trilogy's resistance movements center care, reciprocity, and community-based governance. Through narrative strategies such as second-person perspective and the reimagining of the Earth as an active political subject, Jemisin reframes liberation as ecological as well as social. The analysis argues that the trilogy's vision resonates with contemporary climate justice movements, calling for the dismantling of intersecting systems of domination and the cultivation of sustainable, reciprocal relationships with the planet.
