She is the author of several books, including ''The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory'' (1990) and ''The Pornography of Meat'' (2004), focusing in particular on what she argues are the links between the oppression of women and that of non-human animals.〔Green, Elizabeth W.
