Women's work in agriculture began a steady decline in the 1850s, yet the same period saw the widespread growth of the rural idyll and the myth of the ideal farm wife and mother. This study describes women's farm work based on parliamentary reports from the period and looks at the meanings given to the work in the press, farming advice books, autobiographies, and art and literature. Contains color illustrations. Distributed by St. Martin's Press. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
