Description: Thinking Back Through Our Mothers is an autoethnographic and historical narrative of the everyday lives of farm women. Beginning with the most recent past, I write about my childhood on a farm in a Mennonite community in Manitoba. Using their daily diaries, I uncover the everyday lives of my mother and grandmothers, Kleine Gemeinde Mennonite farm women in Manitoba and Kansas. I compare and contrast their lives with the lives of farm women who wrote letters to "The Country Homemakers" page from their various locations in the Canadian prairies.
