Description
x"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 Mench - Cynthia Moss - Katherine Payne - Marge Piercy - Pattiann Rogers - Linda Tellington-Jones - Haunani-Kay Trask - Gillian Van Houten - Terry Tempest Williams

In 1995 she organized a conference for tribal elders on endangered species and was part of a working group for Native input into the reauthorization of the Endangered Species Act. Her lifelong area of interest has been the traditional relationship between indigenous peoples and animals. Her books include Dwellings: A Spiritual History of the Living World, Book of Medicines, and Solar Storms. Deena Metzger has lived with wolves for twenty years, writing about them from her home in the Santa Monica mountains. As a poet, writer, and lay analyst, she has devoted her writing and working life to ecological and environmental concerns.
