Description
Starting in 1845, Jeremiah Hacker of Brunswick and Portland, who grew up in a Quaker family, published the pro-vegetarian newspaper, the Portland Pleasure Boat.
Hacker's journalism often connected eating meat to women’s rights concerns. U.S. vegetarians in the 19th and 20th centuries regularly discussed the link between social justice topics and animal welfare.
