Representing Rural Women highlights the complexity and diversity of
representations of rural women in the U.S. and Canada from the
nineteenth to twenty-first centuries. The 15 chapters in this
collection offer fresh perspectives on representations of rural
women in literature, popular culture, and print, digital, and
social media. They explore a wide range of time periods, geographic
spaces, and rural women's experiences, including Mormon pioneer
women, rural lesbians in the 1970s, Canadian rural women's
organizations, and rural trans youth. In their stories, these women
and girls navigate the complex realities of rural life, create
spaces for self-expression, develop networks to communicate their
experiences, and challenge misconceptions and stereotypes of rural
womanhood. The chapters in this collection consider the ways that
rural geography allows freedoms as well as imposes constraints on
women's lives, and explore how cultural representations of rural
womanhood both reflect and shape women's experiences.

and girls navigate multiple settings and address the complex

networks to communicate their experiences, and seek to challenge
misconceptions and stereotypes of rural womanhood. The chapters in
this collection consider the ways that rural geography may allow
freedoms as well as impose constraints on women's lives, and
ultimately how cultural representations of rural womanhood both
reflect and shape women's experiences.
