The Role of Women in the Animal Rights Movement - Pamela D. Toler and Richard J. Miller
About the Authors:
Pamela D. Toler, PhD, translates history for a popular audience, going beyond the familiar boundaries of American history to tell stories from other parts of the world as well as history from the other side of the battlefield, the gender line, or the color bar. Her work has appeared in American Scholar, Aramco World, MHQ: The Quarterly Journal of Military History, Ms., and Time.com. She is the author of ten books of popular history for adults and children, including Heroines of Mercy Street: The Real Nurses of the Civil War (a nonfiction companion to the PBS historical drama Mercy Street), Through the Minefields, and Women Warriors: An Unexpected History.
Richard Miller was born in Portman Square in London and developed an interest in chemistry when his father gave him a chemistry set for his fifth birthday. During his teens, his interests shifted to biochemistry and a desire to use science to understand the workings of the brain and to explain mental disorders. Richard obtained his PhD in pharmacology from Cambridge University and then joined the faculty of the University of Chicago.
After 25 years, he transferred to the Department of Pharmacology at Northwestern University where he is now professor emeritus. Richard has published over 500 scientific papers in the areas of biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and neuroscience. He is the author of four books including The Rise and Fall of Animal Experimentation: Empathy, Science, and the Future of Research.
