This book aims to expand feminist theory to include the study of rural women, while recognizing that many rural women no longer depend exclusively on agriculture or the land for their livelihoods. It emphasizes the depth and value of women's knowledge with the natural environment.

Carolyn E. Sachs is associate professor of rural sociology and women's studies at Pennsylvania State University. She is the author of Invisible Farmers: Women in Agricultural Production (Westview).
