Women on the Land presents the reality of the lives of farm women at the turn of the 21st century and examines their often overlooked contributions to the Australian agricultural industries.
Using the voices of the women themselves, it presents an often stark picture of a group of people battling not only to keep their farms going but to keep their families and communities together.
Writing from a feminist perspective, Dr Alston addresses the gender inequities in rural communities, in the agricultural industries and organisations, and within farming families. (back cover)
