Review
"Sarah Franklin's timely, highly original book tracks sheep and sheep-human associations through their many pathways in deep and recent pasts and near futures; in economies and markets, in research institutes and pharmaceutical houses, in British national and colonial ventures; in the transcontinental traffic between agricultural sciences and human medicine, especially reproductive medicine; in kin-making within and between species; in the transit of famous animals from laboratory subjects to popular cultural icons; and in the trajectories from sheep breeding to human embryonic stem cell research."--Donna Haraway, author of Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium. FemaleMan(c)_Meets_OncoMouse': Feminism and Technoscience "Deftly blending insights drawn from anthropology, history, science, animal husbandry, and current politics, Sarah Franklin has written an imaginative and illuminating account of the iconic Dolly and her many meanings."--Harriet Ritvo, author of The Platypus and the Mermaid: And Other Figments of the Classifying Imagination
