About this book
A rich and complex portrait of the agricultural fair, in which rural women’s identities and activities take centre stage.
Cultivating Community explores women’s critical involvement in agricultural fairs’ growth and prosperity in Ontario throughout the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Examining women’s roles as society members, exhibitors, performers, volunteers, and fairgoers, the book shows how women used fairs to present different versions of rural womanhood.

Reviews
“In the ongoing scholarship around the question ‘Is there a rural feminism?,’ Nurse makes a major contribution with her research on women claiming space in the public domain and inserting themselves into the management of fair boards and agricultural societies. The writing is delightful and the argument is skilfully woven throughout.” Linda M. Ambrose, Laurentian University
