The present paper attempts to study how the concept of ecofeminism, which was suggested in the west in 1974 and was relentlessly revisited over the years, is reflected in Richard Powers’s novel The Overstory (2018). This paper reviews the broad contours of the ecofeminist debate and then analyses The Overstory in the light of the ecofeminist theory, highlighting Powers’s contribution to the ecofeminist discourse. Moreover, this paper argues that Powers’s narrative adds a new dimension to the narrative theory; the paper particularly refutes the claim of the Anthropocene narrative theory which advocates that environment material in literature is incapable of producing hallmarks of narrativity.
