Description: Although women have long felt kinship with animals, they have seldom participated in the study of them. Now, as more women writers and scientists make animals the subject of their investigations, important new ideas are emerging, based on the premise that animals are honored co-sharers of the earth.

At the forefront of this international movement stand the editors of this groundbreaking anthology, which includes original stories, essays, meditations, and poems by the best women nature writers and by women field scientists writing about their lives among the animals they study.
