Mama Learned Us to Work: Farm Women in the New South
Black and white farm women as consumers, producers, and agents of change; Farm women of the twentieth-century South have been portrayed as oppressed, worn out, and isolated.

The changes have been general and widespread. Their particular form, tim…
