Feminism, animals, and science: the naming of the shrew
Philadelphia: Open University Press (1994)
Abstract
The book then addresses the human/animal opposition implicit in much feminist theorizing, arguing that the opposition helps to maintain the essentialism that feminists have so often criticized. The final chapter brings us back from ideas of what 'the animal' is, to ask how these questions might relate to environmental politics, including ecofeminism and animal rights.Author's Profile
