Over the history of the United States, farmers have mostly been men. Miller's choice to write a book both about Vermont, a radical place in many ways, and female farmers, is a feministic move that I applaud.
It seems as though much of the material in the book comes from around the year 2000, covering a more recent era than Miller's "Vermont People."
The book is both beautiful—for the romantic portrait of rural life that it provides, and tragic—in that the era of the self-sufficient homestead in Vermont has come to a close, with the state essentially having become an over-priced vacationland for city folks from Boston and New York.
If you find Vermont's aesthetic appealing, and have interest in farming and feminism, this is an excellent book. ( )
