RRD 188 Women, Land, and Legacysm: Results from the Listening Sessions

Bregendahl, Corry, Carol R. Smith, Tanya Meyer-Dideriksen, Beth Grabau and Cornelia Flora. 2007. Women, Land, and Legacysm: Results from the Listening Sessions. (RRD188). Ames, IA: North Central Regional Center for Rural Development.
     

This report is a summary of ways in which Iowa’s women landowners frame agriculture and their place within it as articulated through the participation of 806 women representing 22 of Iowa’s 99 counties in the WLLsm listening sessions. The analysis is based on content analysis of women’s input recorded at each session. These sessions enrich our understanding of women’s relationships to the land and how these women navigate the social landscape to manage their land in ways true to their values.
