Description
Originally published in 1994, this book brings together papers developing feminist analyses of the rural condition from a wide range of industrialised countries, informed by the national and local cultural constructions of gender and rurality which they interpret. The chapters address the gendered power relations of rural households and agricultural science; women's mobilisation in farming and environmental politics; the intersection of domestic and rural values and practices as they shape gender identities.
