Abstract

The 20th century was the century of women rights through feminism movement to raise the voice against patriarchy and for the equal rights of men and women. On the other hand, a movement also against environmental degradation knew as environmental movement. These two movements lead to the creation of eco feminism movement. Begum Akhtar Riazuddin enlightens eco feminism awareness in both of her travel literatures. During travel she discovers those elements that degrade the environment and also observes the environmental economics and finance. Begum Akhtar Riazuddin provides feminism consciousness and raises the voice for the women rights. Begum Akhtar Riazuddin observes those elements that are destroying the nature. According to her whatever the technology and development it always contributes in destruction of nature. This study is that of Begum Akhtar Riazuddin's travel literatures that reflect the environmental motherhood. This term is new in Urdu literature but woman gets this sense from heritage and Begum Akhtar Riazuddin uses this sense in her travelogue.
