Abstract

There is a feminism that names biological women exclusively and associates them with care and motherhood; a part of ecofeminism has been tempted to bet on these ideas, however other disciplinary approaches makeus presume scenarios where the critique of the feminine as something essential is necessary. Artworks suchas those of Ana Mendieta state that the union of a woman with nature would be buildable from other pointsthat would not be natural. Finally, the companion species of speculative feminism lead not only women to jointhe struggle, but other vulnerable figures in a common warp. This framework emancipates associations withinfeminism in a serious context where it is urgent to create alliances.
