Her masterpiece The Awakening, created at the end of the nineteenth century when the patriarchal ideology prevailed, mainly depicts the female protagonist Edna’s awakening of the selfhood. It is worthy of the recognition as a canon of feminist literature. This writer intends to analyze The Awakening from an ecofeminist point of view. In the first part, the paper gives introduction on the author Kate Chopin and the book. The second part describes the general survey of the ecofeminism development and the main viewpoint of ecofeminism. The third part explains the relationship between man and nature from an ecofeminism point of view. It explains that people just want to get profit by controlling and destroying nature. However, female care about the nature more than male. They sympathize animals and they like nature. The fourth part mainly talks about three different females in this novel. They lived in the same period of time, but they had different lives. The last part makes a conclusion. Key words: ecofeminism; nature; awakening; woman 摘 要 凯特·肖邦是美国文学史上杰出的女作家。她之所以能够跻身于19世纪美国小说名家之列，在于她的作品折射出女性主义的光辉。她是少数在作品中对19世纪男权社会进行大胆抨击的女性作家之一。凯特·肖邦的巅峰之作《觉醒》创作于19世纪末以父权为纲的时代，描写的是女性自我意识的觉醒，是当之无愧的女性主义文学经典之作。 本文将从生态女性主义的角度分析《觉醒》这部小说。第一部分介绍凯特·肖邦和这部小说。第二部分叙述了生态女性主义的发展及生态女性主义的主要观点。第三部分从生态女性主义的角度解释人与自然的关系。男人只是想通过控制和毁坏自然来和获得利益，然而，女性则更关心自然。她们同情动物，喜欢自然。第四部分主要讲述这部小说中的三位女性角色。她们生活在同一时期却又不一样的人生。最
