Rural women are the backbone of African agricultural economies, and the mainstay of subsistence production for family upkeeps, and, major contributors to their communities' welfare. But what else is there about the women? This study examines both how rural women in Kenya negotiate gender roles to take up seasonal agricultural wage employment, and, what goals the women have for such wage employment. The study is undertaken against the framework of the Universal Bill of Rights claims for women's human rights.

520 $a Rural women are the backbone of African agricultural economies, and the mainstay of subsistence production for family upkeeps, and, major contributors to their communities' welfare. But what else is there about the women? This study examines both how rural women in Kenya negotiate gender roles to take up seasonal agricultural wage employment, and, what goals the women have for such wage employment. The study is undertaken against the framework of the Universal Bill of Rights claims for women's human rights.
520 $a In their own voices the women individually tell of their self-perception and capacity to make economic decisions within a cultural context. From data collection sites in tea and maize farms in Nandi and Trans Nzoia Districts of Rift Valley Province in Kenya, a population sample of 122 rural women respondents, aged between 30 to 50 years and working for wages in farms owned by non-relative farmers, participated in the general survey. Fourteen interviewees were identified from the population sample for detailed in-depth interviews. The study targeted labor-intensive seasons for maize harvesting and tea picking, and, was undertaken between December 2001 and August 2002.
520 $a The study aims to contribute knowledge about lives of rural women and, to provide information to public policy formulators, rural development project designers, fenders and academic programs such as gender studies and international development. Although the data was collected in Kenya the information about women's socio-economic struggles is relevant in a general context to comparable rural economies and poor neighborhoods in developing and industrialized countries.
