| Rape of the Wild: Man’s Violence against Animals and the Earth | Andrée Collard and Joyce Contrucci | Indiana University Press | 1989 |
This visionary and inspiring book is a cogent analysis of man’s use and misuse of his environment and an impassioned plea for a feminist ecological revolution.
One of the really significant books to have come out of the women’s movement.
