The Portrayal Of African Woman’s Struggle On Environment Issues Reflected On The Novel “How Beautiful We Were” By Imbolo Mbue (2021)

---

This research discussed a novel about an African woman who is
determined to stop an oil company from destroying the environment in
her village. This research focussed on the struggle of a woman in the
novel How Beautiful We Were which aims to find out the depiction of
the struggle of African women in protecting their environment. This
research used the theory of ecofeminism from Greta Gaard and Murphy
with descriptive qualitative research methods and note-taking as an
instrument. This research was conducted to add and give awareness to
readers about the importance of preserving and protecting the
environment around us. The results found in this novel that the female
character named Thula fulfills the three aspects of women's struggle in
the theory of ecofeminism. The researcher concluded that in this novel,
the most visible struggle of women leads to the community so that the
movement carried out by the main character can realize that it is
important to fight for and protect our nature from the threat of
companies that come to destroy it. Therefore, the novel shows that
Ecofeminism is not only aimed at women's rights but can also refer to
upholding people's right to a decent life.
