Animal Advocacy and Englishwomen, 1780-1900 focuses on women writers and their struggle to protect animals from abuse in the transition from preindustrial to Victorian society. Looking critically at the work of Sarah Trimmer, Susanna Watts, Elizabeth Heyrick, Anna Sewell, and Frances Power Cobbe, Moira Ferguson explores the links between Britain's evolving self-definition and the debateover the humane treatment of animals. Ferguson contends that animal-advocacy writing this period provided a means for during women to register their moral outrage over national problems extending farbeyond those of animal abuse, effectively allowing them to achieve a public voice as citizens.
