ABSTRACT
Drawing on Karen J. Warren and Duane L. Cady’s six standpoints of feminist scholarship in dialogue with other philosophical discussions of peace in terms of making connections, this chapter offers an ecofeminist reading of the anti-militarist connections between the humans and the nonhumans in Mingyi Wu’s novel The Stolen Bicycle. I examine the multiple sufferings caused by militarism, the syndrome of post-traumatic stress disorder, and the possibilities of healing. I further argue that reading the novel from the perspective of ecofeminist peace studies highlights Wu’s understanding of how multiple species, humans, and ecosystems have peacefully co-habited in Taiwan.
