Intimate Nature: The Bond Between Women and Animals
“This remarkable group of women have narrated their personal experiences with animals—what they have learned and how it has transformed their lives.”—Common Boundary
“A celebration of compassion . . . Women are opening new ways of communicating with and understanding the animal world.”—The Seattle Times
Though women have long felt kinship with animals, in the past they seldom participated in the study of them. Now, as more women make animals the subject of their investigations, significant new ideas are emerging—based on the premise that animals are honored co-sharers of the earth.
This unprecedented anthology features original stories, essays, meditations, and poems by a vast array of women nature writers and field scientists, including:
Diane Ackerman • Virginia Coyle • Gretel Ehrlich • Dian Fossey • Tess Gallagher • Jane Goodall • Temple Grandin • Susan Griffin • Joy Harjo • Barbara Kingsolver • Ursula le Guin • Denise Levertov • Linda McCarriston • Susan Chernak McElroy • Rigoberta Menchú • Cynthia Moss • Katherine Payne • Marge Piercy • Pattiann Rogers • Linda Tellington-Jones • Haunani-Kay Trask • Gillian Van Houten • Terry Tempest Williams
