Description: authored by Edith Carrington, reflects the author’s enduring dedication to ethical responsibility and compassion for all living beings. Best known for her animal-welfare advocacy and vegetarian activism, Carrington pens this work from a perspective that broadens the notion of "workers" beyond the human sphere, inviting readers to ponder the often-overlooked contributions of non-human participants in our shared world. Though detailed summaries of the book are scarce, its title and Carrington’s broader ethos suggest a poignant commentary on the unseen labor and intrinsic worth of animals—those who "work" in ways unrecognized and unrewarded by society. Through this lens, the book likely challenges readers, especially younger ones, to reconsider their assumptions about labor, value, and moral duty toward the voiceless members of our communities.
