Rape of the Wild: Man's Violence against Animals and the Earth

Andree Collard - 1989

"One of the really significant books to have come out of the women's movement." --Mary Daly"Rape of the Wild is a bold work that stress[es] the absolute necessity of kinship with nature and all forms of life." --Animal's Agenda"This book is constructively "radical" in that it channels the energy of anger into a probing examination of the roots of patrist violence." --Changing Man..".

a welcome addition to ecofeminist literature... " --Feminist for Animal Rights"Rape of the Wild is a very moving, passionately written expose of men's subjugation and exploitation of the natural environment and of women." --Forest History SocietyThis 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.

Margaret Bennell - 1989
