Agnes Ryan (1878-1954) was a pacifist, vegetarian, and managing editor of the Woman's Journal, 1910-1917.[1]
Her papers are archived at the Arthur and Elizabeth Schlesinger Library on the History of Women in America, Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study, Harvard University, and include unpublished novels, diaries, correspondences, an autobiography, and other writings.[2]
Ryan was among the feminist vegetarians who, during World War I, made a connection between meat eating and the killing of human beings in the Great War.[3]: 123
In her unpublished novel, "Who Can Fear Too Many Stars?," she depicts vegetarianism as a way of resisting male dominance. [4]: 132
Carol J. Adams argues that Ryan's "the Cancer Bogy" was maybe the first modern vegetarian health guide.[5]: 149
Josephine Donovan mentions that Ryan is one of the many first-wave feminists who advocated for animal rights. [6]: 359
