- Summary
- 'Animals and Women' is a collection of pioneering essays that explores the theoretical connections between feminism and animal defence. Offering a feminist perspective on the status of animals, this unique volume argues persuasively that both the social construction and oppressions of women are inextricably connected to the ways in which we comprehend and abuse other species. Furthermore, it demonstrates that such a focus does not distract from the struggle for women's rights, but rather contributes to it.
