DeGeneres in Female Force

Vegan comedian Ellen DeGeneres is featured in Female Force, a year-old comics series that depicts strong, history-making women. The 38-page comic book, released today, highlights the star’s lifelong love for animals. It talks about her childhood aspiration to become a veterinarian and depicts the pooch who attended her 2008 wedding to Portia de Rossi. The daytime talk-show host has arranged for a percentage of the book’s proceeds to benefit The Humane Society of the United States. DeGeneres is in good company with the Female Force, which has previously featured Oprah Winfrey, an influential friend of the vegan community, and first lady Michelle Obama, a tireless advocate for children’s nutrition and local foods.
