| Summary |
"Women and Farming: Property and Power looks at women on family farms. It argues that farming culture affords more power to men than to women. This is because men and women on family farms have different relationships to property. Traditions and customary practices sanction the transfer of land from father to son, thus restricting women's access to property. Economic power follows from property ownership, and this in turn leads to political, ideological and organizational power. Access to property is regulated by farming culture, and discriminates against women."--BOOK JACKET |
