About This Book

An examination of life for young women on American farms that questions whether rural daughters receive full opportunity for growth and happiness and considers how their wellbeing affects the farmstead. Combining essays, practical guidance, and illustrative stories, it treats health, household training, division of labor, wages, dress, and the duties of founding a home, while addressing isolation and homesteading hardships. It emphasizes education, efficient household administration, and community resources — play, reading, music, camps, and organizations — as remedies to broaden prospects, strengthen rural communities, and make farm life more satisfying and sustainable for country girls.
