"""Through their stories, [these] women establish that the suffering of animals is an important concern for human beings; that women's involvement in animal advocacy is consistent with other traditions of women's social advocacy, and that there are connections among forms of oppression and that these connections require that we include animals in our advocacy."" from the foreword by Carol J. Adams, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory"

A picture is worth a thousand words, and the cover of Lisa Kemmerer's anthology Sister Species is a doozy... It's an eye-grabbing, opinion-provoking cover, and a fairly accurate preparation for the content featured in Sister Species.--Bitch Animal lovers will find this of clear interest, while those investigating women's lives will likely be surprised and intrigued by the issues it raises. --Booklist Takes us on a unique journey of thought and self-discovery. --Journal for Critical Animals Studies Kemmerer provides a space to embrace narrative and the unique experiences of women doing social justice work... The growing discourse of ecofeminists and women animal advocates needs a larger library of texts like these. --Feminist Formations Prompt[s] us to recognize that attention to nature and animals should be at the forefront of any feminist agenda. --SIGNS This is a book worth having on a personal and academic bookshelf to return to over and over again to remind ourselves that all species human and non-human deserve and need our protection and respect. --Gender and Education
