The Feminists for Animal Rights slideshow is an exploration of the 
psychosexual roots of violence against womenand nature. Sometimes referred 
to as a dissection of the patriarchal mind, the slideshow traces the common 
worldview that has produced the twin oppressions of women and animals. 
Beginning with their conception as ancient goddesses and the embodiment of 
the divine, the slideshow traces the images of women and animals from 
ancient history through to the modern era of Cartesian science. With the 
aid of a rich panoply of images from popular culture, mythology, 
pornography, and art, the FAR slideshow illustrates the dual conception of 
women and animals as wild, demonic beings who must be conquered and 
subdued, as well as their depiction as inanimate matter that exists to 
serve "man's" needs.

Real life images from rodeos, factory farms, research laboratories, sex 
shows and pornographic magazines alternate freely with images of women and 
animals in mythology and culture at large. Out of these multiple images, a 
single theme is discerned: namely, men's age-old attempt to sever their 
connection to women and nature, and to dominate the natural world.

The FAR slideshow has been shownt throughout the country and abroad, where 
it has been widely acclaimed. The depth and breadth of its insights, images 
and analysis are guaranteed to touch your heart and to help you see the 
world through a new and different lens.
