El presente ensayo se centra en el semejante uso que la filantropista, feminista y defensora de los animales irlandesa, Frances Power Cobbe (1822-1904) hace de términos de referencia y metodologías expositivas en los panfletos y ensayos que publicó sobre “los derechos de los animales” y “los derechos de las mujeres”. Ambos discursos evidencian tintes imperialistas propios de su educación anglo-irlandesa, que ponen de manifiesto un tercer interés menos conocido por parte de Cobbe: “la cuestión irlandesa” (O’Connor). Con este objetivo, el ensayo estudia la autobiografía de la autora y cinco de sus ensayos y panfletos: “The Rights of Man and the Claims of Brutes” (1863), “Life in Donegal” (1866), “The Evolution of the Social Sentiment” (1874), “Wife-Torture in England” (1878), y Light in Dark Places (1883).
