The Parallel Lives of Women and Cows: Meat Markets - Hardcover

by J. Halley (Author)

Weaving together a social history of the American beef industry with her own account of growing up in the shadow of her grandfather's cattle business, Halley juxtaposes the two worlds and creates a link between the meat industry and her own experience of the formation of gender and sexuality through family violence.
