Feminist Politics on the Farm
Author: Naomi BlackPublisher: McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP
ISBN: 9780773518285
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
The women studied were clearly progressive in their opinions and the authors show that their original and varied opinions cast doubt on much of the standard literature about non-elite women's understanding of mainstream politics and the women's movement. These rural women differed significantly from the usual stereotypes of farm women as apolitical and conservative. Nor were they the reactionaries implied by theories of modernization. Instead, they were supportive of women's political activism, and of their equality and self-assertiveness, and were as feminist as other women in Canada and France.
