This contribution points to interesting connections between the current critical condition of nature and women's position in society. I give an account of ecofeminism and try to place it within the context of feminist and environmental movement. The purpose of this article is to introduce the basic ideas of ecofeminism, whose underlying principle is a critique of dualistic thinking, and a critique of the application of the logic of dominance and hierarchy. I argue that this critique may be based on feministic epistemology. Furthermore, I explain the ecofeminist critique of dualistic thinking and hierarchy against the changes on the background of the scientific revolution, which had a big impact on the position of women in society and the current global ecological crisis.
