  • ‘Position’ is here used about the actual, ‘objective’ position in the organization of the work at the farm.
  • ‘Technology’ we will define as the set of existing techniques,, and knowledge and ability to utilize the techniques. (A further discussion of this notion in Fossgard (1987) and Kaul and Lie (1988).)
  • Totally about 60 farming women in three districts (Stord and Voss in the county of Hordaland and Hâ in the county of Rogaland) have been interviewed, and these represent various groups of age, various districts and various size of farm and house-keeping.
  • The quantitative survey comprised all working as farming women in the three selected districts. The questionnaire contained 124 questions, and the survey had 427 respondents.
  • The figure is taken from K. R. Gjertsen, ‘Ârssyklusen i ei Nordhordlandsbygd. En tidsperiode med endringer’, in Dugnad no. 2 (1977).
  • The term ‘female farmer’ comprises here all women that take an active part in the running of the farm, alone or together with the husband. I do not confine the term to only those being the sole or main responsible person for the farm, as the sociologist Marit Haugen does (Haugen, 1991).
