Abstract: Excerpts from the Introduction: The purpose of this comprehensive listing is to encourage further study in this area and to make existing material more readily available to interested scholars, students, and members of the public. The interest in women's history, in general, is a contemporary phenomenon. And the specific topic of women in American agriculture is an even newer area of historical inquiry. This bibliography covers women's activities on the farm, or more specifically, women engaged as landowners, farm managers, agricultural laborers, and in agricultural industries: beekeeping, silk culture, butter production, etc. References are included concerning women in agricultural education, as agricultural scientists, as workers in ag-related industries (not on the farm) and their involvement in rural organizations.
