Abstract
Gone with the Wind, the only literary work of Margaret Mitchell, ensures her position in the world literature. In Gone with the Wind, Margaret fully expresses her ecological feminism consciousness.
This thesis starts with the rebellions of women and nature under patriarchy society in Gone with the Wind. Women try to control their own destiny and protect nature when nature is under the control of men. And the similarities between females and nature are also made clear. To sum up, human beings and nature are equal and they should build a harmonious relationship.
