Description: A multidisciplinary study of rural women; specifically, how literary practices of older rural women lead to powerful work in their community.
Review Quotes: "Hogg convincingly argues that the literate artifacts produced and inspired by women in post-World War II Paxton, Nebraska, in effect "grew" a community of people such as herself. . . . Her interpretive lens encourages further study about women sponsoring literacy in post-World War II America."--Western American Literature
