- Title
LET THEM EAT MEAT.
- Authors
Serkin, Rachel
- Abstract
The article reports on how Jewish women turned to politics to protest the decision of the National Beef Trust of America to raise the price of kosher meat in May 1902. They got inspiration from various political groups and decided to launch a door-to-door campaign urging their neighbours to boycott the butchers. The Beef Trust decided to lower its prices to 14 cents a pound and former U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt filed a lawsuit against the Beef Trust that eventually dissolved monopolies.
