Items related to Intimate Nature: The Bond Between Women and Animals
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:

Review:
As any lover of animals will tell you, creatures of the natural world bring inspiration and spiritual insight to their human admirers. In this collection of essays, ponderings, poems, and interviews, which includes contributions from Jane Goodall, Barbara Kingsolver, Ursula Le Guin, and Tess Gallagher, readers are able to glimpse the personal yet profoundly universal impact of animals on women's lives. Even more, they can experience the relational and spiritual feminine model for animal study. In their introduction, editors Linda Hogan, Deena Metzger, and Brenda Peterson explain, "This strong sense of compassion that many women bring to the study, celebration, and love of animals has been world changing and visionary. We can now say that the old guard of detached science is being replaced with the new guardians, many of them the women in this Book."
From the Publisher:
I don't care who you are or how much you hate cats! Any woman will run to the pet store after reading Intimate Nature. Unfortunately, I have the bad luck of living in an apartment building that doesn't allow pets. However, reading the stories collected by Linda Hogan makes me want to petition the board. If I can't have the real thing, at least I still have my collection of stuffed animals from my childhood.
