Women have historically wielded the keys of the household. The responsibilities of being the key-bearer were to guard the family. Still, beyond the physical, females have also been the gatekeepers of cultural heritage, skills, and knowledge passed on from one generation to the next. No one was better in tune with nature than the household's matriarch, with vast knowledge of the flora and fauna, what to glean and when to do so. Understanding of the cycles of growth, awareness of the delicate balance between giving and taking, and vitality are all intrinsically feminine. The motherhood expressed through deep love and care for the offspring transcends throughout nature, as the lioness protecting her cubs or the mountain goat leading their progeny to known streams & salt licks.

Moreover, since ancient times women have been the embodiment of flourishing vitality and fertility, accompanied by hardships associated with fulfilling the multifaceted role of caretakers, mothers, protectors, and providers. To tend to others, cultivate abundance, and carry on a successful legacy, they have been naturally equipped with exceptional innate resilience both in mind and body. These three virtues highlighted as powerful attributes of femininity - wisdom, love, and health - are symbolic keys to strengthening our relationship with nature. Values that are often lost in the mainstream.

Ethics of ecology, especially in the context of human-nonhuman relationships, get a chance to resurface under the influence of ecofeminism which dares to stir up and challenge the standard by shifting focus away from the status quo. Environmentalism is an inherently feminine issue in that sense because, at its core, it profoundly relates to a mindfulness of the environment surrounding us and an intimacy in the ways we are meant to care for it. "Gaia" is set as an exploratory endeavor celebrating female strength and values in nature.
