Nearly half of all farmland in the US is owned by women - 295,000 of them. In an enterprise traditionally dominated by men, they are taking a lead role in overhauling a complex, often dysfunctional food system. This book features the stories of eight women farmers who persevere despite treacherous weather and erratic commodities markets.
