Women About Animals

Surveys consistently reveal that women have higher levels of concern about animal welfare than men. What does this tell us about women, animals, and the use of animals by humans in science and elsewhere?

Both Reinventing Biology and Animals and Women begin from the premise that the feminist movement and the ideology that underpins it have close connections with animal rights.

SINCE the early 19th century, it has mainly been women who have campaigned for animal protection in Britain and the US.
