Such an innovative approach will consider the various forms of visible and invisible exclusion, of both women and animals, that are present in our current Western anthropo-centric and androcentric traditions.engAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Medbh McGuckianThe Thankless Paths to FreedomPosthumanismEnvironmentGender StudiesIrish poetrybook partopen access
