摘要 

玛格丽特•阿特伍德是加拿大杰出女性作家,面对生态危机，她重新思考自然和人类的关系，尤其女性与男性的关系。阿特伍德的作品中蕴含了丰富的生态女性意识。其杰出作品《使女的故事》能够充分体现男权社会中女性与自然之间的紧密关系,对于发掘生态女性主义思想具有重大的研究意义。具有生育功能的母亲，和大自然有着同源关系，两者皆受到男性及男权社会的控制和利用。本论文介绍了该小说中存在的三种母亲在应对环境时表现出不同的态度。并从生态女性主义理论角度分析了三种母亲形象形成的原因：对环境破坏的不同认知及对男权政治的不同态度。本论文的写作是为了进一步提倡维护女性权利和保护自然环境，有助于新时代人们更新对待女性和生态的态度看法。
