This collection situates feminist animal care theory within feminist theory as well as within the debate over animal rights. In Beyond Animal Rights, the editors had introduced the feminist "ethic of care" theory into philosophical discussions of the treatment of animals.

A collection of pioneering essays focusing on a feminist perspective on the status of animals and offering support for the idea that the oppression of women is inextricably connected to the ways in which we comprehend and abuse other species. Includes original material from scholars in a wide variety of fields, including an early article by Virginia Woolf.
