Bu makale, Richard Powers’ın The Overstory (2018) eserindeki çevresel konular ve feminist kaygılar arasındaki bağlantıları inceler. Romanın odak noktası, şüphesiz, ekoloji ve insan merkezcilik eleştirisidir, ancak feminist değer sisteminin varlığı da dikkate değer bir inceleme alanı sunar. Gerçekten de, akademideki cinsiyet ayrımcılığı, kadının güçlenmesi meselesi, ekofeminizm ve feminist etik, feminist kaygıların iç içe geçtiği bir ağ (écriture féminine) oluşturur. Romanın kadın karakterleri değişim için söylemsel araçlar olarak işlev görürler. Bu da, anlatının, maskülen insan merkezci anlayışı dünyaya zarar verici bir görüş olarak revize etmesiyle eşzamanlıdır. Anlatının feminist alt tonları, doğanın, sadece insan eylemleri için bir arka plan oluşturmadığını, aksine, dikkati hak eden insan dışı bir “öteki” olduğu görüşünü pekiştirir.
