"Women have always been skilled at feeding their families, and historians have often studied the work of rural women on farms and in their homes. However, the stories of women who worked as agricultural researchers, producers, marketers, educators, and community organizers have not been told until now. Taking readers into the rural hinterlands of the rapidly urbanizing societies of the United States, Canada, Great Britain, and the Netherlands, the essays in Women in Agriculture tell the stories of a cadre of professional women who acted to bridge the growing rift between those who grew food and those who only consumed it. The contributors to Women in Agriculture examine how rural women's expertise was disseminated and how it was received. Through these essays, readers meet subversively lunching ladies in Ontario and African American home demonstration agents in Arkansas. The rural sociologist Emily Hoag made a place for women at the US Department of Agriculture as well as in agricultural research. Canadian rural reformer Madge Watt, British radio broadcaster Mabel Webb, and US ethnobotanists Mary Warren English and Frances Densmore developed new ways to share and preserve rural women's knowledge. These and the other women profiled here updated and expanded rural women's roles in shaping their communities and the broader society. Their stories broaden and complicate the history of agriculture in North America and Western Europe" -- From the publisher.

Le 19 septembre 1960, le jour du début des classes à l'Université Laurentienne, on discutait, dans les pages du Sudbury Star, de ce que le journal avait nommé " la plus grande expérience entreprise dans le cadre de l'enseignement supérieur canadien ". Étant donné le mandat bilingue et triculturel de la nouvelle université, ainsi que ses complexités religieuses, le Star prédit qu'il y aurait inévitablement des tensions et des contretemps mais que, grâce à la coopération, la bonne volonté et la bonne entente, il y aurait aussi des accomplissements majeurs. L'Université Laurentienne : une histoire, l'oeuvre de cinq membres de la faculté Laurentienne (quatre historiens et un sociologue), explore les maintes façons que la réalité a reflété les prédictions du Star. Ce livre marque le cinquantième anniversaire de la fondation de l'Université Laurentienne. Il trace les racines historiques de l'Université dans le Nord de l'Ontario et examine six principaux thèmes : la gouvernance universitaire ; l'évolution académique ; le bilinguisme et le triculturalisme ; les étudiants ; l'association des professeures et professeurs ; le rôle des femmes. L'exploration de ces thèmes, lesquels sont les éléments de basée de l'expérience de la Laurentienne, illumine le caractère unique et le succès de cette institution. Cette première histoire détaillée de l'Université Laurentienne permet également une compréhension plus approfondie des développements et des changements au sein de l'éducation postsecondaire canadienne au cours des cinquante dernières années.
