Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1990, Carol J. Adams' revolutionary work has engaged, enraged, inspired and challenged readers with its exploration of the interplay between society's ingrained cultural misogyny and its obsession with eating animals and masculinity. This iconic book, referenced in rock songs, feminist artwork and even a Law and Order SVU episode, continues to change the lives of its readers today.

Published to celebrate the book's 35th anniversary, this Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new introduction that reflects on how recent events continue to prove the relevance of this influential work.
