Almond wrote her first book, Education and the Individual, when she was in her thirties, and went on to write Moral Concerns, The Philosophical Quest and Exploring Ethics: A Traveller's Tale and The Fragmenting Family. As well as being a philosophy professor, Almond has sought to present her particular view of individual rights to a wider public.[5][6] She has argued regularly for maintenance of the “welfare of the child provision” when legislation was crafted to reflect the changing technologies of birth[7] and raised ethical issues surrounding the use of human embryos.[8] Ailsa Stevens wrote in an article that appeared in BioNews that Almond, "felt that anxieties over hybrid embryo research had been fuelled by confusion over the definition of an embryo".[9]
