Women Like Meat: The Folklore and Foraging Ideology of the Kalahari Ju/'hoan, Megan Biesele's 1993 ethnography from Witwatersrand University Press, is a scholarly study of Ju/'hoan folklore and gathering practice. Its strength is that it is based on the author's direct fieldwork among the Ju/'hoan, published by an academic press. Its limit is that it describes the Ju/'hoan specifically, so it should not be generalized to other San or wider Kalahari peoples without a source that covers them.
