Ecofeminist Perspectives and Themes in Selected Works of Olga Tokarczuk

Summary/Abstract: Olga Tokarczuk, a Nobel laureate and one of Poland’s most acclaimed contemporary authors, is renowned for her humanist, feminist, and ecological stances. Her works, including “Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead”, “The Empusium”, and select stories from “Bizarre Tales” (specifically “Green Children”, and “The Calendar of Human Holidays”), explore themes of interconnectedness between women, nature, and animals. Through an ecofeminist interpretation grid, this paper examines how Tokarczuk criticizes patriarchal structures and celebrates ecological harmony, revealing the profound social and environmental implications of her narratives.
