Description
In this landmark work of animal rights activism, Carol J. Adams—the bestselling author of The Sexual Politics of Meat—explores the intersections and common causes of feminism and the defence of animals.
Neither Man nor Beast explores the common link between cultural attitudes towards women and animals in modern Western culture that have enabled the systematic exploitation of both.
A vivid work that encompasses environmental ethics, theological perspectives, and feminist theory, the Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new foreword by the author and new images illustrating the continuing relevance of the book today.
