Will we ever escape the gendering of nature, such a long carried out tradition in literature and culture, and will there ever be gender neutrality? A close analysis of Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights provides answer to this question. The concept of connecting women with nature dates back to the times of ancient classical mythology, with several goddesses being strongly connected to the earth. In this paper my attempt is to analyse Emily Bronte’s debut novel Wuthering Heights in which Yorkshire moors, the setting of the novel, along with the central character Catherine, escapes the feminine gendering. Bronte succeeds in presenting the character of Catherine as free from all the onventional notions of a gothic heroine. New approaches and eco feminism now a days, explain how women tried to get away from the notion that, nature can be looked upon only with feminine connotations.
