"When we think of an Australian farmer, we often still conjure up an image of a
bloke in a hat, perhaps leaning on a fence post. If women make an appearance at
all in this picture, it’s usually as a support to the male farmer.
Women’s labour has long been central to the success of Australian farming. But
farming itself is still largely seen as a “masculine” job. That’s why the
Australian women in agriculture movement has fought hard to change this
perception.
Our research has reviewed the story and impacts of this movement over the past
40 years.
There have been some big wins for women – particularly in terms of cultural
recognition. But they still do not have equal access to the economic rewards of
farming."
