About This Book
From Publishers Weekly
Many cultures equate meat-eating with virility, and in some
societies women offer men the "best" (i.e., bloodiest) food at the
expense of their own nutritional needs. Building upon these
observations, feminist activist Adams detects intimate links between the
slaughter of animals and violence directed against women. She ties the
prevalence of a carnivorous diet to patriarchal attitudes, such as the
idea that the end justifies the means, and the objectification of
others. In Frankenstein , Mary Shelley made her Creature a vegetarian, a
point Adams relates to the Romantics' radical politics and to visionary
novels by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, Dorothy Bryant and others. Adams,
who teaches at Perkins School of Theology, Dallas, sketches the alliance
of vegetarianism and feminism in antivivisection activism, the suffrage
movement and 20th-century pacifism. Her original, provocative book makes
a major contribution to the debate on animal rights.
