Abstract:
This paper aims to analyze the cli-fi written by women in recent years, establishing a dialogue between literature, feminism and environmental crisis. The study will focus on how cli-fi criticizes the environmental destruction of our time as well as its relation to capitalism and its contribution to the literary tradition of which it is a part of. Thus, through a brief discussion about narratives that search a greater connection with nature, this essay aims to discuss our current environmental crisis as well as the importance of the cli-fi in it and its relevance to the historical moment we are living. To do so, I attempt to sketch working definitions for cli-fi narratives while connecting them with theories about feminism, anticapitalism, ecofeminism and the Anthropocene.
