ABSTRACT
Anarcha feminism arose in response to perceived limitations of both liberal and Marxist feminism and was influenced by classical anarchist theory. Strongly committed to the development of anarchist communities, anarcha feminism is more grounded in political action than some other feminist perspectives. Anarcha feminists critique liberal feminists for their failure to reject hierarchy and privilege; they see liberal feminism as concerned only to make privilege gender-blind. Ecofeminists rightly note that except for anarcha feminist, no feminist perspective has recognized the importance of healing the nature/culture division. Although ecofeminism aroce out of the fundamental tenets of anarcha feminism, ecofeminism's central concern is the relationship between human and nonhuman nature. King explains that "an analysis of the interrelated dominations of nature—psyche and sexuality, human oppression, and nonhuman nature—and the historic position of women in relation to those forms of domination is the starting point of ecofeminist theory".
