Living Off the Land: Women Farmers Today
An interesting collection of in-depth interviews with 12 women farmers. All hail from Kerry but vary in age and farming speciality.
Their very existence attests to a society which has greatly changed, in only a few decades. As one of the last industries which remain predominantly male (internationally as well as closer to home), these women provide a unique insight into a physically demanding job in all its various challenges. Independent, resourceful, resilient, they run their farms on equal terms with both partners and other farmers. A book that will speak to farmers of both sexes
