About this book

This book presents a feminist critique and reconstruction of the political economy of contemporary family farming at a time when the significance of household and kinship to the organisation of production and work in advanced industrial countries is being more widely reassessed. Focusing on the social construction of women as 'farm wives', the book challenges the prevailing invisibility of women in farming and segregated analysis of home and work.
