Feminist epistemology and it’s role in ecofeminism
Authors

Abstract
Epistemology is the domain of knowledge usually considered to function
in isolation of the lived experiences of this world. This knowledge is
categorised as unbiased, universal, value-free, objective and so on. Feminist
epistemology questions such claims of knowledge by highlighting the impact of
our lived experiences on knowledge and the exclusion of women from it. The
structure of knowledge has been constructed by the dominant groups of society
which largely constitute men. Therefore, in this paper, I endeavour to bring
forth the gaps in the traditional structure of epistemology and the ways in
which it is deficient. Further, I focus on the role of women in the formation
of knowledge and how their proximity with nature makes the inclusion of their
experiences a valuable source of knowledge by drawing emphasis on the
connections between ecofeminism and feminist epistemology.
