Natalie Merchant released a new album this week, Leave Your Sleep, a collection of songs ruminating about childhood and motherhood that include  joy, grief and death.

Merchant has been a vegetarian for almost two decades, and according to Tonic, has previously release songs that touch on animal rights.

Merchant was once quoted as saying, “I’ve been a vegetarian for 17 years and I consider myself an environmentalist inasmuch as I can be, considering the job that I have. I prefer living in the countryside rather than the city; I find it more sane and sustaining for myself.”

This weekend was Omega‘s annual Women In Power Conference, which featured feminist and girrl powered names like Gloria Steinem and Natalie Merchant.

According to one attendee of the event, there was plenty of vegetarian food to keep empowered women satisfied.

“The food (vegetarian and totally yummy).”

What better way to promote the theme of empowerment than to empower animals by not eating them.

Reminds us of a quote that ties women’s rights to animal rights by vegetarian author Alice Walker.

“The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men.”
