Inhaltsangabe

One of the many changes that fundamentally altered 19th century agrarian life was the shift in the dairy industry from home to factory butter and cheesemaking when production began to shift to "crossroads factories." McMurry examines the role of social systems, cultural values, material culture, and family dynamics in these changes, arguing that a key factor in the change was simply the resistance of women to the burden of home cheesemaking.
