Purpose:



This study aims to trace the historical evolution of the woman-nature relationship in Iranian women's fiction through a comparative analysis of the works of Simin Daneshvar, Shahrnush Parsipur, and Moniru Ravanipur, and to situate this evolution within the varying approaches of ecofeminist theory.

Method and Research: Employing a descriptive-analytical method and qualitative content analysis, the study examines five novels (Savushun; Women Without Men and Tuba and the Meaning of Night; The Drowned and Gypsy by the Fire) against the theoretical framework of ecofeminism (Warren, Plumwood, Shiva, Merchant, Gaard), applying three analytical axes: symbolic, corporeal, and agentive.





Findings and Conclusions: The findings reveal a gradual three-stage trajectory in the representation of the woman-nature bond: nature as national symbol in Daneshvar's work, nature as bodily metaphor and refuge in Parsipur's work, and nature as an independent narrative agent intertwined with local feminine identity in Ravanipur's work. This trajectory parallels broader sociopolitical transformations in Iran and mirrors the global development of ecofeminist theory.
