Breaking Through Grass Ceiling

This book examines the contemporary position of women in agriculture, drawing on interviews and surveys with many hundreds of Australian women-farmers, bureaucrats, leaders and activists - and with powerful men in the industry. Giving a voice to rural women, the book presents a wide-ranging, rich tapestry of opinion and insight.
Feminists, social scientists - both researchers and students - and others interested in gaining an understanding of gender relations in rural areas and organisations will find this book a valuable resource.
