In response\, Greta asserted\, 鈥淚 think the world needs many more young angry women [鈥.That鈥檚 the thing we need the most of鈥 (Giordano). Later\, in an interview in September 2025\, Greta explained her commitment to deliver aid to Gaza\, stating\, 鈥渨e cannot pretend to care about the climate crisis while we ignore the suffering and oppression of people today. [鈥 If we only care about our white children鈥檚 future\, [鈥 that is not caring about justice鈥 (Andrieu). By drawing connections between ongoing global conflicts and the climate crisis\, Greta highlights a nuanced ecofeminist perspective on the interconnectedness of social\, political\, and environmental issues and injustices while advocating for the transformative agency of 鈥測oung angry women鈥 in challenging these. \nSimilarly\, this talk will explore the fictional representations of young angry 鈥榞irls鈥 in contemporary American speculative novels. Following the publication of Octavia Butler鈥檚 Parable series (1993-1999) and Suzanne Collins鈥 The Hunger Games trilogy (2008-2010)\, an ever-growing body of novels 鈥 often manifesting as YA (eco)dystopias 鈥 demonstrates a strong narrative preoccupation with young adult girl protagonists. Furthermore\, these narratives intertwine girlhood coming-of-age with large-scale ecological disruption\, imagining vulnerable yet empowered protagonists who must navigate survival while growing up amid environmental crises of apocalyptic proportions. I argue that these novels tap into traditional understandings of American girlhoods and nature\, and envision a new ecofeminist heroine for the twenty-first century: a multiply marginalized girl who embodies both collective anxieties and hopes around survival\, resistance\, healing\, and the possibility of a better future in a devastated nonhuman environment. \nFocusing on Rebecca Roanhorse鈥檚 Indigenous futuristic Sixth World series (2017-2019)\, my discussion will bring together contemporary ecocritical\, ecofeminist\, and girlhood studies perspectives to make visible the emerging cultural connections between girlhood and the nonhuman environment in contexts of ecological risk\, crisis\, and resilience as shaped by recent YA (eco)dystopias.
