a b s t r a c t Theodore Roszak's compelling parable, The Memoirs of Elizabeth Frankenstein, provides an (eco)-feminist view of the ''Night of the Living Dead Model'' and suggests that only the equal union of ''masculine'' and ''feminine'' energies will help us resolve the current eco-crisis. This article further explores the consequences of the highly masculinized post-Enlightenment rationalism as demonstrated in Roszak's novel. Although this article agrees that there is a dangerous imbalance between natural/spiritual and scientific/rational viewpoints, it also stresses that the extreme genderification of these energies is potentially problematic.[(eco)-feminism, ecosophy, consciousness, Theodore Roszak, Frankenstein]
