<p>Review of the original edition of <i>Gender and Rurality</i>: </p><p>âThe most important merit of the book is the empirical information it provides.â <b>Lyda Res</b>, <i>Experimental Agriculture, Vol 31, Issue 3</i></p>
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; womenâs mobilisation in farming and environmental politics; the intersection of domestic and rural values and practices as they shape gender identities.
