This chapter puts forward a critical, intersectional theory of women on the move in the context of climate crises. It interweaves ecofeminism, evolutionary anthropology and a geopolitical perspective to analyse the issue of forced displacement in Latin America. Reformulating the concept of the ‘climatic woman’, it critiques the essentialism that biologically links femininity to nature, instead emphasising the socially constructed roles shaped by historical gender systems, colonial legacies and power dynamics. Inspired by hominid evolution, the chapter explores gender adaptations from Australopithecus to Neolithic societies. It highlights the crucial contributions of women in foraging, tool-making and agricultural resilience during climatic changes. This is evidenced by archaeological sites such as Sierra de Atapuerca and Blombos Cave. The use of ochre in Rose Cottage Cave, for example, demonstrates technological sophistication spanning over 60,000 years, linking practical and symbolic functions to environmental survival. Drawing on Vandana Shiva's ecofeminist critiques of capitalist maldevelopment, the chapter confronts patriarchal structures that exacerbate vulnerabilities faced by women, while celebrating their political agency in resistance and knowledge production. This anti-essentialist approach fosters transformative gender relations and opens pathways to equitable ecological futures, in which female expertise can drive sustainable change in an unstable world.
