Adams' original, provocative book makes a major contribution to the debate on animal rights.

Publishers Weekly

In the 20th-anniversary edition of this thought-provoking book, Adams explores the links between the slaughter of animals and violence directed against women, and ties the carnivorous diet to such patriarchal ideas as 'the end justifies the means.'

Toronto Globe and Mail

...a richly polemical discussion of the relationships among patriarchal culture, the exploitation of women and of animals, and the politics of meat-eating.

Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books
