Summary: RAPE OF THE WILD AN ECOFEMINIST CLASSIC
Review: Andre Collard's book Rape of the Wild has had a profound impact on me. She was one of the first feminists to expose the horrors of animal exploitation/destruction and their connections to the abuse of women and nature. This book has kept me a dedicated vegetarian. It has kept me using cruelty free household products and shampoos. Ms. Collard's ecofeminism is a cry for all of us to band together and save the planet earth. It is one of the most important books in my life. If you have read the works of Carol Adams read this book. If you are interested in progressive feminist politics read this book.

Summary: A book that will make you stop in your tracks.
Review: Rape of the wild by Andree Collard and Joyce Contrucci is a haunting book. In what some would call a disjointed way (but to my mind effective)it examines our treatment of animals and thus ourselves. It rambles over the history of animal experimentation and the exploitation of animals and leaves only one conclusion: madness. It's a book I can never forget.
Rating: 
Summary: Everyone should read this book...
Review: Rape of the Wild is enlightening for those who never considered the ramifications of their lifestyles. I know Dr. Contrucci and had the pleasure of discussing this book with her. Everyone who is concerned about preserving life should read it.

Summary: A valued contribution to woman's and animal welfare movement
Review: Rape of the Wild proved to be very informative. I particularly found the etymological explanations wonderfully insightful. The courage taken to invest emotions in an issue/s so often strived to be kept objective and reasoned, is commendable. Whilst the authors do their best to give reference to their claims and theories, I found certain statements to be assuming, biased and stereotypical. I would have appreciated if certain statements were balanced or countered with references, thereby challenging and reaffirming the authors' views. [...] Rape of the Wild is a bold and much needed attempt at defending that discrimination, regardless of form: racisim, sexism, agesim, speciesim, are one and the same and will require a revolution now if it is to cease to perpetuate.

Summary: Everyone should read this book...
Review: The bottom line is that this book should be given out at birth to all humans born in the "industrialized" world. Very powerful, and eye-opening (to say the least). My only complaint is that it's not the type of book that I was compelled to read again and again (something I look for in a book).
