Marti Kheel (born 1948 in New York City , † November 19, 2011 in Greenwich ) was an animal liberation activist , vegan researcher and environmental ethicist . Her book Nature Ethics: An Ecofeminist Perspective (2008) and the much discussed and reprinted essay The Liberation of Nature: A Circular Affair (1984) are considered to pave the way for the ethics of care approach of feminist environmental ethics , which she shared with Josephine Donovan and Carol J. Adams developed and defended. Kheel co-founded Feminists for Animal Rights in 1982 .

She was one of five other children of the journalist Ann Sunstein Kheel († 2003) and the lawyer Theodore W. Kheel (1914-2010). Kheel first studied history at the University of Wisconsin , then moved to McGill University and graduated in 1983 with an MA from the Department of Sociology . By 1986, she completed another MA program at Antioch University , before finally receiving her PhD from the Graduate Theological Union of the University of California, Berkeley . Most recently, she held a visiting professorship in the Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management of this alma mater . A specialist conference for eco-feminist exchange with a focus on Kheels work is scheduled for 2012 at Wesleyan University .
