"Women have always been skilled at feeding their families, and historians have often studied the work of rural women on farms and in their homes. However, the stories of women who worked as agricultural researchers, producers, marketers, educators, and community organizers have not been told until now. Taking readers into the rural hinterlands of the rapidly urbanizing societies of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and the Netherlands, the essays in Women in Agriculture tell the stories of a cadre of professional women who acted to bridge the growing rift between those who grew food and those who only consumed it. The contributors to Women in Agriculture examine how rural women's expertise was disseminated and how it was received. Through these essays, readers meet subversively lunching ladies in Ontario and African American home demonstration agents in Arkansas. The rural sociologist Emily Hoag made a place for women at the US Department of Agriculture as well as in agricultural research. Canadian rural reformer Madge Watt, British radio broadcaster Mabel Webb, and US ethnobotanists Mary Warren English and Frances Densmore developed new ways to share and preserve rural women's knowledge. These and the other women profiled here updated and expanded rural women's roles in shaping their communities and the broader society. Their stories broaden and complicate the history of agriculture in North America and Western Europe" -- From the publisher.

"The Rise of Agrarian Democracy is a work detailing one of the greatest agrarian and mass democratic movements in North American history. It describes the events leading to the formation of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1909 and explores the UFA's development over the next decade as farmers built a distinct 'movement culture, ' organized a large membership, and established the Untied Farm Women of Alberta. A path is laid from the farmers' inherited ideas and common experience, gender assumptions, class opposition, and agrarian ideals to a collective sense of responsibility, co-operation, and confidence. We follow the growth of a grassroots movement whose astonishing political success culminated in the election of the United Farmers of Alberta in 1921 and in their governing the province for over a decade." "More than an institutional study, this book examines an elemental period in Canadian democracy within the cultural, social, and community context at the core of the movement's inception. It contributes significantly to our understanding of the evolution and politicization of the Alberta farmers' movement and as such is an important investigation in western and agrarian history and economics." "This work is of interest of those studying co-operative movements worldwide. Brad Rennie provides insight into both reform movement and gender history in Canada."--Jacket
