Abstract
- The article discusses the impact of electricity on farms in rural Illinois communities, focusing on how women reacted to the electrification of the homes. Other topics include information on the work women did prior to electrification including drawing water, cooking, and cleaning, the degree to which farm women implemented electricity into their lives, and how cooperatives helped increase the amount of electricity that could be brought to farms in the early days of electricity.
