In the Lifetime of a Goat: Writings 1984-2000

This collection of essays covers events large and small during Marilyn Waring's 16-year stint as a goat farmer. She reflects on such themes as international and New Zealand politics, feminism, and agrarian life. Included are previously published columns along with new, original compositions. Waring's acute political observations present an interesting contrast with her day-to-day perspective on her time spent with the goats.
