The aim of this paper is to discuss some effects of agrarian change on rural women, based on the Malaysian experience. The introduction of modern agriculture has no doubt succeeded in raising productivity and the income of rural women in the country, but inequalities between the poorer and better-off farmers have widened. The process of modernization in agriculture has displaced women to domestic production. Although efforts have been made to improve and increase agricultural production, the role of women as farmers has declined and many factors have contributed to this. Realizing the importance of women's contribution to the economy, the Malaysian government has taken steps to boost the participation of rural women in various development programs and activities. Hence, this paper seeks to address the question: how are rural Malaysian women placed in the context of agrarian change
