Rural Womyn Zone
Established in 1997 as a virtual community to provide information, outreach, support and a networking base for rural women and their nonprofit organizations and grass roots activities.

The Zone publishes news and information for rural women and by rural women and accesses  news and other resources useful to rural women. 

The Zone respond to this statement from Carolyn Sachs, who wrote in Gendered Fields: 

“One challenge faced by scholars involves how to avoid colonizing the voices of rural women, and how instead to seriously face and understand the different contexts of rural women’s lives. .  Feminist theorists.. ..remain caught in a bind. We call for marginalized groups of women to add their perspectives to feminist discourse and practice in order to enable subjects to speak for themselves, but we realize that the academic and literary worlds are closed or alien to many of these women.”
