Original Reviews of Family and Work in Rural Societies:
‘The book does contribute to a greater insight into the way various social and cultural factors interact in widely differing communities to lead to sometimes unexpectedly differing patterns of the changing division of labour.’ Ann Seidman
‘All of the articles provide fascinating glimpses of the gender division of labour in family farm economies.’ June Nash, American Anthropologist Vol 89, No. 4 (1987)
