| Sumario: | If some ecofeminists defend the innate connection between women and nature we well as the patriarchal domination of women, this article discredits, following Biehl, that reductionist view of social relations proving that power and violence are also executed by women over other inferior women and arguing that this approach contributes to a greater gender division. Following Butler’s gender performativity theory, we will analyse V.S. Alexander’s The Magdalen Girls (2016) and Lisa Michelle Odgaard’s The Magdalen Laundries (2017), to prove that gender divisions and moral requirements have contributed to the subjugation of Magdalene women through violence and to the negation of their role as mothers, and yet, how that vulnerable condition could have been challenged by growing resistant. |
