Silent partners: women in farm magazine success stories, 1934-1991
1996
Walter, G. | Wilson, S.
Women's contributions to the farm and farm household have historically been undervalued. An analysis of farm magazine "success" stories through six decades indicates that these stories may be a vehicle for reproducing and transmitting a traditional domestic ideology that separates farm production from the rest of the farm household and that rarely portrays women as significant contributors to the economic well-being of either. Magazine stories depict women as spouses or farm helpers, but not as producers or decision-makers. Farm magazines thus offer few models of realistic gender relations for either farm women or farm men.
