The essays collected in this volume argue that \"animaladies\" are expressive of political and psychological discontent, and the characterization of animal advocacy as mad or \"crazy\" distracts attention from broader social unease regarding human exploitation of animal life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile allusions to madness are both subtle and overt, they are also very often gendered, thought to be overly sentimental with an added sense that emotions are being directed at the wrong species. Animaladies are obstacles for the political uptake of interest in animal issues-as the intersections between this volume and established feminist scholarship show, the fear of being labeled unreasonable or mad still has political currency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carol J.
