"A bible of the vegan community." The New York Times
"Adams's original, provocative book makes a major contribution to
the debate on animal rights." Publishers Weekly
"An important and provocative work...the author provides a
compelling case for inextricably linking feminist and vegetarian
theory. This book is likely both to inspire and enrage readers
across the political spectrum." Library Journal
"An intelligent polemic...Adams's observations are telling, most
are seductively sprung...the argument is both thoughtful and
thought-provoking." Kirkus Review
"I appreciated learning about Nellie McKay, the vegan-feminist,
singer-songwriter, and of Daniel Menaker's visit to her apartment,
where he found a 'heavily underlined and annotated book about the
connection between male oppression and meat-eating.' Based on a
quick survey, he concluded that the unnamed book 'appears to make a
good deal of disturbing sense.' The name of the book is 'The Sexual
Politics of Meat, ' and I am its author." Carol J. Adams, letter to
the editor, New York Times Magazine, published Jan. 16, 2005
"It's a consciousness-raising and conscience-challenging book."
Andrea Dworkin
"A bible of the vegan community." --The New York Times
