This thesis investigates how women and the natural world are naturalized and feminized within the 1984 film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind by Hayao Miyazaki. I construct this analysis through a Marxist Ecofeminist framework that highlights the role of reproductive labor in the subordination of both women and nature. By focusing on Princess Nausicaä and the Ohmu I identify and problematize the ways in which women are naturalized and “nature” is feminized within the film.
