内容説明
The farming wife presents a reassessment of family farming at a time when family enterprise is gaining in significance and interest beyond the farming arena. The book offers a feminist critique and reconstruction of petty commodity production, the concept widely used to describe various forms of small-scale production for the market based on family, or household, labour and property. Through a detailed study of family farming in England, the political economy of family-based production is examined as a unity of household and enterprise, intimately structured by patriarchal gender relations. Placing women at the centre of analysis, the book challenges the prevailing invisibility of woman in farming, and family enterprise, and portrays their experience as farm wives.

内容説明
This book presents a feminist critique and reconstruction of the political economy of contemporary family farming at a time when the significance of household and kinship to the organisation of production and work in advanced industrial countries is being more widely reassessed. Focusing on the social construction of women as 'farm wives', the book challenges the prevailing invisibility of women in farming and segregated analysis of home and work.
