From a perspective of ecofeminist theory, author Rachel Stein suggests that selected writings by Emily Dickinson, Zora Neale Hurston, Alice Walker, and Leslie Marmon Silko metaphorically revise American concepts of nature, gender, and race. Stein shows that by reinterpreting nature, these writers transform their characters from social objects into self-empowered subjects .
