Much of the literature published so far on gender relations in
rural areas has either focused on comparisons of the position of
men and women, or explored the position of women given prevailing
structural forces and behavioural 'norms' that restrict the
autonomy of women as human agents. This groundbreaking book
broadens the debate by developing our understanding of how societal
processes produce and sustain gender divisions, particularly in
rural areas, highlighting aspects of rural women's lives previously
invisible in the literature. Illustrated by case studies from
France, Germany, Greece, Norway and Sweden, the book examines the
critical issues of education and training, entrepreneurship,
leadership, limited work and service opportunities, social
mobility, and work experiences. In doing so, the contributors
provide a fascinating comparative study of both national-regional
and broader European realities.
