We're taking over International Day For Rural Women this year on October 15th as it has been declared the Year of the woman farmer and we are going to release a book with stories that speak by you 100 of you
In recognition of the United Nations International Year of the Woman Farmer, I’m creating a very special book through Stories That Speak .
It will be called: She Farms
100 Rural Women – Voices from the Land
This book will bring together the stories of 100 women living and working in rural and regional Australia.
Women who farm.
Women who run businesses.
Women who keep communities going.
Women who show up when times are tough.
Each woman will share a short story about life on the land, lessons, challenges, resilience and wisdom that comes from rural life.
You do not need to be a writer.
You just need a story.
Every contributor will have a two-page feature in the book, becoming part of The Founding 100 Rural Women whose voices will be recorded as part of this national project.
The book will be released to mark the UN Year of the Woman Farmer, celebrating the women who help shape rural Australia.
To help cover editing, design and printing, a small contributor participation fee will apply, with full details provided after expressions of interest.
If you would like to be one of the 100 Rural Women, comment VOICE below or send me a message.
And if you know a rural woman whose story deserves to be told, please tag or nominate her.
Let’s make sure the stories of rural women are not lost.
