Synopsis
In Woman's Place in Rural Economy: A Study in Sociology, this book explores the essential role of the farmer's wife in rural life and agricultural progress. It argues that women influence farming far beyond family duties, shaping education, health, and community well‑being.
Through a comparative look at Belgium, Denmark, and Britain, the work shows how domestic schools and organized associations lift the social status of women on the farm. It emphasizes that broad education, not just technical training, strengthens families and rural communities, helping to prevent rural decline.
- Roles as mother, educator, homemaker, and community advocate that support a stable, healthy rural population.
- Ideas from Belgian domestic agricultural schools and Danish models that pair general education with technical farming training.
- Practical training in hygiene, sanitation, cooking, dress, and home management that raise living standards.
- How farmer’s wives’ unions and public courses foster mutual aid, leadership, and social progress.
Ideal for readers of social history, agricultural policy, and gender studies who want a clear view of how women shape farming and rural life.
