PEREIRA PENTEADO, Marina. The Future is Female (and Anticapitalist): Cli-Fi Narratives written by Women. Rev. Estud. Fem. [online]. 2022, vol.30, n.2, e75807.  Epub May 01, 2022. ISSN 1806-9584.  https://doi.org/10.1590/1806-9584-2022v30n275807.

This paper aims to analyze the cli-fi written by women in recent years, establishing a dialogue between literature, feminism and environmental crisis. The study will focus on how cli-fi criticizes the environmental destruction of our time as well as its relation to capitalism and its contribution to the literary tradition of which it is a part of. Thus, through a brief discussion about narratives that search a greater connection with nature, this essay aims to discuss our current environmental crisis as well as the importance of the cli-fi in it and its relevance to the historical moment we are living. To do so, I attempt to sketch working definitions for cli-fi narratives while connecting them with theories about feminism, anticapitalism, ecofeminism and the Anthropocene.

Keywords : Cli-fi; Ecofeminism; Anthropocene; Anticapitalism; Feminism.
