Product Description
Rear cover notes: "Open Country, Iowa links anthropology and history in a woman's perspective on the changing social patterns of rural Iowa communities. Using life stories which she has collected, Deborah Fink explores the experiences of today's women. She traces them back to past influences, beginning with the time of the first settlers, and shows how family, religion, and work have changed over the years. Her interpretation of social patterns as determined by the history of national politics, economics, kinship, and community culture, calls into question some common understandings about the traditional role of women and about changes initiated by World War II. A volume in the SUNY series in ANTHROPOLOGY OF WORK, June Nash, Editor."
