About this title

Synopsis

Changes in the structure of American agriculture have had and will continue to have profound implications for the lives of farm women. This volume explores the effects of shrinking farm incomes on the roles and activities of farm women today, with emphasis on farm women's family roles, their community and political activities, their control over the allocation of farm labor and agricultural resources, and their economic roles.
