Subject

Women's Liberation

Description

Country Women was an underground press paper. According to the explanation at the beginning of this issue, "Many of us are moving to the country into a whole new environment and learning how to survive - and at the same time beginning to explore ourselves critically and deeply as women. We are learning skills, discovering our discontent, getting high with women, struggling not to be bound by role or fears. We see Country Women as a feminist country survival manual and creative journal."

This issue includes articles on consciousness raising, meetings, weight issues, a women's festival, roll roofing, chainsaws, saws, weaving, goat breeding, wood splitting, winter gardens, pickling and preserving.
