Discussing the impact of technology on rural life in the first half of the twentieth century, these books retrieve and celebrate the lives of ordinary homemakers. The basic tenet of this project, according to the author, has been to prove, both to the world and to the women themselves, that their lives have value, dignity, and worth.
