A proposito di questo titolo
Angie Browne reflects on Minette Batters becoming the first female president of the UK National Farmers Union in 2018, and uses her story to explore women’s exclusion from land, farming, and decision-making. She outlines Batters’ path from being discouraged by her father, to building a tenant farming business and leading the NFU, and considers what tenant farming reveals about wealth, power, and concentrated land ownership in England. Angie connects these dynamics to colonisation, imperialism, and the narratives that positioned men as rightful owners and lawmakers while relegating women to unpaid domestic and farm labour. Drawing on her ideas of lineage consciousness and legacy consciousness (including “seven generations” thinking), she celebrates women’s longstanding relationships with growing and stewardship, questions why women farmers are treated as unusual in the UK, and imagines a future where women and girls have secure, collective access to land and are no longer bearing the burden of others’ profit.
