Focusing on the often-overlooked regions of South and Southeast Asia, this study critiques the dominant narrative surrounding East Asia's prominence. By merging local philosophical insights with mainstream ecocritical and ecofeminist theories, it highlights over thirty ecofictions by women writers from twelve countries. These narratives explore the impact of global ecological crises on marginalized communities, particularly women, and offer fresh perspectives on their connections to both human and nonhuman environments, employing a framework that integrates ecofeminism, postcolonialism, and risk theories.
