Françoise d'Eaubonne was a French feminist writer and activist credited with coining the term "ecofeminism" in 1974.
She is best known for her groundbreaking work linking feminism and environmental issues, particularly in her book "Feminism or Death." D'Eaubonne argued that patriarchal systems were responsible for both the oppression of women and environmental destruction.
Her writings emphasized the need for a radical transformation of society to address these interconnected issues.
Despite some dated perspectives, her work remains influential in eco-feminist thought.
D'Eaubonne's contributions to feminist literature and environmental activism have secured her place as a significant figure in the development of eco-feminist theory.
