This collection celebrates the contributions of our
foremothers-mothers, grandmothers, aunts, and neighbors-who devoted
their lives to farming pursuits. Some embraced their roles, others
detested the life of a farm woman; but most would agree their
contributions were minimized or overlooked. And the common practice
of referring to them as "farmer's wife" or "farm helper" or
"farmerette" didn't quite do justice to their work. Men and women
who spent their lives living and working on a family farm or ranch
will relate to the emotions and exploits experienced by the women
profiled. Town dwellers and urbanites two or three generations
removed from the farm or their rural communities and growing up
hearing grandparents' and great-grandparents' stories about life on
the farm will appreciate these women who may or may not resemble in
any way their foremothers. City slickers who never spent a day on a
farm, nor thought the life of a farmer was in any way appealing
will meet a community of spunky, brazen, plucky, hardworking gals
who donned trousers every day, scraped cow dung from their boots
every night, enjoyed a few hours of deep sleep afforded by hours in
the fresh country air, only to rise early the next day and start
all over again.
