Project Gutenberg 2010-06-23 Public domain in the USA. 236 Crow, Martha Foote 1854 1924 The American Country Girl Produced by Annie McGuire "The American Country Girl" by Martha Foote Crow is a sociological exploration of the lives and experiences of young women in rural America, written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the various roles of country girls, highlighting their contributions to both family and society while addressing the challenges they face in a changing rural landscape. Crow aims to shed light on the importance of these girls and their potential impact on the country's future, advocating for their recognition and development. The opening of the book sets the stage by discussing the growing interest in the Country Life Movement, which aims to improve conditions for rural populations. Crow notes the lack of attention given to the figure of the Country Girl in literature and society, emphasizing that while farmers and their families are often analyzed, the young women who live on these farms are overlooked. She questions the happiness and fulfillment of these girls, setting forth her intention to unveil their experiences, ambitions, and struggles. Through a combination of anecdotal evidence and thoughtful commentary, the author begins to address whether the rural environment allows for personal growth and satisfaction among country girls and their essential roles within the family structure.
