FEMINIST AUTHOR TO CHALLENGE SEXISM, MEAT INDUSTRY IN HOUSTON

Houston July 28th to take on the exploitation of women in the American meat 
and restaurant industries.

Adams’ book, “The Sexual Politics of Meat,”  and her most recent book, "The 
Pornography of Meat," have received massive critical acclaim for pioneering 
the connection between the sexualization of animals for consumption and the

cutting-edge presentation based on The Sexual Politics of Meat,” designed to 
challenge the contemporary patriarchal attitudes toward the consumption of 
meat and the dehumanization of women.
