Rosenfeld argues that farm women have rarely been identified as productive farm workers and that they continue to be seen only as mothers and homemakers. She shows that in addition to performing a wide range of farm work, these women in fact help ensure the farm's economic survival by contributing wages from outside employment. She raises questions about government policy and stresses the need for study in both industrialized and development societies.

Farm women of the twentieth-century South have been portrayed as oppressed, worn out, and isolated. Lu Ann Jones tells quite a different story in Mama Learned Us to Work. Building upon evocative oral histories, she encourages us to understand these women as consumers, producers, and agents of economic and cultural change. As consumers, farm women bargained with peddlers at their backdoors. A key business for many farm women was the "butter and egg trade--small-scale dairying and raising chickens. Their earnings provided a crucial margin of economic safety for many families during the 1920s and 1930s and offered women some independence from their men folks. These innovative women showed that poultry production paid off and laid the foundation for the agribusiness poultry industry that emerged after World War II. Jones also examines the relationships between farm women and home demonstration agents and the effect of government-sponsored rural reform. She discusses the professional culture that developed among white agents as they reconciled new and old ideas about women's roles and shows that black agents, despite prejudice, linked their clients to valuable government resources and gave new meanings to traditions of self-help, mutual aid, and racial uplift.

The Progressive Era, falling between the conspicuous materialism of the Gay Nineties and the excesses of the Roaring Twenties, promoted a vision of America united by an emphasis on science and progressive reform. The zeal to modernize business, government, and social relations extended to farm families and the ways women defined their roles. In this study of the expert advice offered by the domestic-economy movement, Marilyn Irvin Holt argues that women were not passive receptors of these views. Seeing their place in agriculture as multifaceted and important, they eagerly accepted improved education and many modern appliances but often rejected suggestions that conflicted with their own views of the rewards and values of farm life. Drawing on a wide range of sources?government surveys, expert testimony, and contemporary farm journals?many presenting accounts in farm women?s own words, Holt carefully contrasts the goals of reformers with those of farm families. Anyone seeking a better understanding of the role of women in agriculture will find this a rewarding book.

Women have always made major contributions to the success of agribusiness and farm operations, but until now there has been little scholarship on the business characteristics, roles, and organizations and activities of farm women in farms and ranches in the United States. This is the first study to deal with farm women as entrepreneurs. Its focus is on demographic and entrepreneurial characteristics, opportunities of leadership and networking provided through the agricultural, business, and community organizations to which the women belonged. The author developed and administered a questionnaire to over 1,000 statistically-selected individuals from three national agricultural women's organizations. The basic design of this unique study was to explore the literature from both a historical and a contemporary perspective on entrepreneurship, on women as entrepreneurs, and on farm women, and then gather primary data from a national survey of farm women. This study compares the characteristics of farm women with non-farm women entrepreneurs. Based on the findings, recommendations are made to policymakers and economic development specialists with interest in entrepreneurship, revitalization of rural America, and women's studies. Historical information is presented on women's organizations, their leaders, and the impact of these organizations; and major federal legislation impacting women and women business owners is provided in the appendices.
