Sources, links and inspiration

Due to the unpleasant way that html treats quotes, I am going to italicize the titles of articles, songs and other things that normally would be enclosed within quotation marks.

Since the majority of these can be found online, I will forgo listing the biobliographic data, which in most cases is embedded somewhere in the web version of an article.

Wikipedia Articles

These are offered as very basic introdutions for any readers/viewers who may want them. Obviously, Wikipedia is just a starting point, and there are better, more in depth sources to be found, but when you want a quick read on who Andrea Dworkin was or what the hell animalier means, Wikipedia is a great place to start. Besides, they have lots of copyright free images and literature. Since all of these are essentially articles, I will not use quotes or italicize the titles of articles.
