Carol Adams sends an update. She has written several books suggesting a link between feminism and vegetarianism since the publication of The Sexual Politics of Meat in 1990. A 20th anniversary edition of that book, which includes a new preface, comes out in March (Continuum Books). Carol writes that in November, an essay in the Sunday book review section of the New York Times, “Mau-Mauing the Flesh Eaters,” opened with a discussion of the impact of her book. She adds: “In December, the Minnesota Review carried an in-depth interview with me in which I discussed some of my experiences as an undergraduate at Rochester, and how they influenced me in developing a critical consciousness (and my abiding love and respect for the impact of literature, especially poetry). Back when I was an undergraduate, the University gave the Fannie R. Bigelow Award to a graduating senior for her ability ‘to form and express fearlessly with conviction and sound judgment, her own opinions on vital topics.’ I received it in 1972, and I like to think of The Sexual Politics of Meat as following in that tradition.”
