Mona Ashour offers an interdisciplinary exploration of how climate change and gender-based violence intersect in contemporary literature.Bridging together literary studies, environmental humanities, and gender studies, this book examines how climate fiction not only reflects ecological and social anxieties but critiques power, privilege, and systemic violence. Ashour draws upon narratives from both the Global North and Global South, including Margaret Atwood's "Oryx and Crake," Arundhati Roy's "The Ministry of Utmost Happiness," Octavia Butler's "Parable of the Sower," and Nnedi Okorafor's "Who Fears Death" to trace how women's bodies and lives become contested sites of vulnerability and resilience in times of environmental crisis. Through the framework of ecofeminism, posthumanism, and critical fabulation, it demonstrates how cli-fi narratives reimagine survival, reverse traditional othering, and highlight women's agency in apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic settings. Ultimately,The Politics of Violence Against Women in Climate Fictionpositions climate fiction as a critical cultural force that not only registers the layered violence of climate collapse but also envisions alternative futures rooted in equity, care, and feminist resistance.
