Abstract
In this article I want to discuss how women's work and position in Norwegian agriculture has changed as a consequence of new technology and new methods of farming from 1930 up to today. More specifically I am going to investigate how women have accepted the new technology. These questions are included in a more extensive comparative study which looks at changes and variations in farming women's positionand social status during the last 60 years in three different rural districts in WesternNorway.
The pre-industrial peasant society has traditionally been the main object of Scandinavi n ethnological research, and working processes and working tools have been of greatest interest. During the last decade the research has to an increasing extent focused on studying work in its social context.
