Later, she would express her feelings in this period of her life with the title "''Chienne de Jeunesse''". A member of the [[French Communist Party]] from 1945-1957, in 1971, she co-founded the [[Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire]] (FHAR), a homosexual revolutionary movement.<ref name=":0" /> Also that year, she signed the [[Manifesto of the 343]] declaring she had an abortion.<ref name="ManifesteDes343">{{Cite web|url=http://www.cidem.org/themes/egalite_hommes_femmes/ega_infos/eclairages/ega_k003.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20010423084113/http://www.cidem.org/themes/egalite_hommes_femmes/ega_infos/eclairages/ega_k003.html|url-status=dead|title=Le manifeste des 343|archive-date=April 23, 2001}}</ref> She is considered the founder of the ecological and social movement of ecofeminism.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Gates |first1=B.

In 1974 she published her book ''Le féminisme ou la mort'' (Feminism or Death) where she first coined the term [[ecofeminism]]. In the book, she speaks of a special connection women share with nature and encourages women's environmental activism. She cites [[toxic masculinity]] as the cause of population growth, pollution, and other destructive influences on the environment. Many scholars shared d'Eaubonne's view on women's inherent connection to nature. These scholars include [[Sherry Ortner]], [[Rosemary Radford Ruether]], [[Susan Griffin]], and [[Carolyn Merchant]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Allison|first=Juliann Emmons|date=2010-03-01|title=Ecofeminism and Global Environmental Politics|url=https://oxfordre.com/internationalstudies/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.001.0001/acrefore-9780190846626-e-158|journal=Oxford Research Encyclopedias|language=en|doi=10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.013.158|isbn=978-0-19-084662-6|access-date=23 May 2021|archive-date=9 February 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220209204618/https://oxfordre.com/internationalstudies/view/10.1093/acrefore/9780190846626.001.0001/acrefore-9780190846626-e-158|url-status=live|url-access=subscription}}</ref> Following her motto, "Not a day without a line", Françoise d'Eaubonne wrote more than 50 works, from ''Colonnes de l'âme'' (poetry, 1942) to ''L'Évangile de Véronique'' (essay, 2003). Her historical novel ''Comme un vol de gerfauts'' (1947) was translated into English as ''A Flight of Falcons'', and extracts from her essay ''Feminism or Death'' appeared in the 1974 anthology ''New French Feminisms''. She also wrote [[science fiction]] novels, like ''L'échiquier du temps'' and ''Rêve de feu'', ''Le sous-marin de l'espace''.<!-- English titles? -->
