“…the (vegan) movement is the bottom and basis of all other movement towards purity, freedom, justice and happiness.”
As I approach my 10th year of veganism and full exposure to the meat and dairy industry etc, I am reminded of why I have always and WILL always put the lives of non-human animals at the forefront of my life choices and daily decisions. 
Similarly, as I approach my 26th year of living (as an AFAB, queer person who is directly affected by the patriarchy just like everyone else) I am reminded of why I choose to fight for human rights on an intersectional level. 
These two movements are congruent; reading this text gave me a better understanding, and helped put into perspective, of why that is.

I agree with other that this is a bit of a tough read, but I think it is definitely worth it. Working through this book is certainly rewarding and you learn so much. An education on feminism is incomplete without this book.

I don’t know whether it was the style or some other nebulous reason, but I found this book difficult to read. It was well worth the effort, though, because the author presents an important hypothesis about the correlation between the ways women and animals are treated and regarded in society. I found this book to be unique, as some of the information and ideas it presents I’ve found in no other books.
