Under the guidance of Marxism,the Party and the government always attach great importance to promoting the development of women and the construction of ecological civilization in China.While western materialism ecological feminism long-term feminism,ecological doctrine and marxism as a fundamental purport to multi-dimensional dialectical fusion and unremitting efforts,and based on marxist horizon,to contemporary famous British scholar Mary Mellor’s ecological feminist ideas of materialism to dig deep and system research,necessary to enrich the marxism theory and ecological civilization thought,we women,comprehensive development and construction of ecological civilization has important theoretical value and practical significance.Since the 1980 s,the drawbacks of the western capitalist industrial civilization have been highlighted,and new social movements such as the women’s movement and the ecological movement have been surging forward,leading to the emergence of ecofeminism.In order to solve the essentialist dilemma encountered by ecofeminism in the postmodern context,Mellor created and developed a unique materialist ecofeminism by dialectically combining ecofeminism with historical materialism.This theory emphasizes that through "their own material life practice",women can create a "non-anthropocentric" human society with women’s experience as the core,and on this basis,build a socialism of gender equality and environmental justice.Therefore,mailer to ecological feminist study on the relationship between women and nature to construct the starting point,from the "female labor and nature" as a form of contemporary capitalist production of "material" of free sex,explore the female labor and nature and between contemporary capitalist mode of production of patriarchy material related to reveal the female labor and nature in the capitalist patriarchy marginalized position in the economic system,to demonstrate the contemporary capitalism exploitation nature of patriarchy.Further,following the logic of Marxism,Mellor emphasized that the space for the reform of contemporary capitalist patriarchal society lies in the democratization of currency and credit system,and thus proposed to construct feminist ecological socialism with the feminist green economy as the framework.In short,Mellor constructs an ecofeminism of "deep materialism" with the core thesis of ecofeminism as the starting point,historical materialism as the analytical tool,and uses the feminist green economy as the framework to achieve the goal of feminist ecofeminism.From a general view of Mellor’s materialist ecofeminism,we can find that it has the following theoretical characteristics: the essential characteristics are the combination of the criticism and construction of historical materialism and ecofeminism;The dialectical harmonization of ecofeminism essentialism and constructivism is the way of thinking.After the modernism trend for the theoretical development trend.Obviously,Mellor’s theory has the theoretical significance of expanding the research horizon of ecofeminism and historical materialism,and helps to provide important practical reference value for the realization of social gender justice and environmental justice.Mellor included the female/gender dimension into the ecological investigation,which provided important enlightenment for China to incorporate gender equality policy into ecological civilization construction,give full play to women’s promoting role in ecological civilization construction,and give play to women’s advocacy of green lifestyle and other measures.In brief,this article core purport lies in the fact that attempts to based on historical materialism stand,viewpoint and method,through the system to clarify the Mellor materialism the formation background,the development of ecological feminism thought quality,value,construct the logic,the theoretical limitations and the reality enlightenment,dig Mellor materialism ecological feminist ideas contained in the marxist elements,certainly the ecological feminism to carry on the positive significance of the development of historical materialism,reveal the ecological feminism and the inheritance and development of historical materialism.
