Description
Exploring the connections between feminism and animal defense, this collection of essays argues that the social construction and oppressions of women are inextricably linked to our understanding and treatment of other species.
The authors examine various fields, including science, literature, and environmentalism, to demonstrate how the subordination of women is a prototype for other forms of abuse, including animal mistreatment. This thought-provoking anthology presents original material from scholars and features a rare article by Virginia Woolf.
Through its diverse perspectives, this book sheds light on issues such as abortion rights, animal rights, woman-battering, and the taxonomy of hunters and hunting, highlighting the need for a broader understanding of the interconnectedness of human and non-human oppression.
