A Man's Town

Spanning seventeen years of fieldwork in rural Australia, this work offers a comprehensive account of inequality based on gender in the daily lives of people living in rural communities. It discusses various aspects of people's lives, from work and recreation to family and community service, in a single social context—how women were held to disadvantaged positions in all spheres of their lives. Accessible and provocative, this work will interest scholars in gender studies, sociology, and family and community studies, as well as those involved in community planning.
