Description
In this project, we analysed interviews with former functionaries of the association of women farmers in Lower Austria. These interviews were conducted on the occasion of the association’s 40th anniversary. We embedded the memories of the founding members of the early years of the association and of carrying out work for the association, on the farm and within the family, in political and societal contexts around the ‘structural break’ of the 1970s.
