Carol J. Adams, Deane Curtin, Josephine Donovan, Marti Kheel, Brian Luke, Rita C. Manning, and Kenneth Shapiro explore the way ethic-of-care feminism can be applied to hunting, vivisection,and even the activists themselves. This volume creates a new definition of animal advocacy and will interest animal-rights activists -- the majority of whom are women. It helps to explain their concern by providing a new theoretical basis for it based on the insights of Carol Gilligan.A Feminist Caring Ethic for the Treatment of Animals.This collection of essays seek to extend and further explore the feminist ethic-of-care theory to the issue of animal rights and well-being.
