As a field veterinarian following in the footsteps of generations before her, she travels the countryside of Spain bearing witness to a life eroding before her eyes-words, practices, and people slipping away because of depopulation, exploitation of natural resources, inadequate environmental policies, and development encroaching on farmland and villages. Saanchez, the first woman in her family to dedicate herself to what has traditionally been a male-dominated profession, rebuffs the bucolic narrative of rural life often written by-and for consumption by-people in cities, describing the multilayered social complexity of people who are proud, resilient, and often misunderstood. Saanchez interweaves family stories of three generations with reflections on science and literature. She focuses especially on the often dismissed and undervalued generations of women who have forgone education and independence to work the land and tend to family. In doing so, she asks difficult questions about gender equity and labor. Part memoir and part rural feminist manifesto, Land of Women acknowledges the sacrifices of Saanchez's female ancestors who enabled her to become the woman she is. A bestseller in Spain, Land of Women promises to ignite conversations about the treatment and perception of rural communities everywhere"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a SaÌnchez, MariÌa, $d 1989- $x Family. 650 0 $a Rural women $z Spain $x Social conditions. 650 0 $a Women veterinarians $z Spain. 651 0 $a Spain $x Rural conditions $y 21st century. 700 1 $a Bauer, Curtis, $d 1970- $e translator. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117023225.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20230104013551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=086D98E48C0011EDA40A627456ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
