The Jane Svoboda interview follows her life chronologically from young farm daughter to worker, wife, and mother. It includes rich reminiscences from her childhood in a Catholic, Irish-American farm family, her reciprocal relationship with her husband, their problems during the farm crisis and their solutions, and the variety of farm women’s contributions to family income. She responded to interview questions quickly and with energy. She voiced few ideas that related the changes in her rural community to economic forces, globalization, or national farm politics.
