Women Workers of Hacienda Milagros - Wage Labor and Household Subsistence on a Philippine Sugarcane Plantation

A landmark anthropological study examining the lives, labour conditions, and social organisation of women working on Hacienda Milagros, a rural agricultural estate. Rutten documents how gender, class, and economic structures shape women's work roles, household responsibilities, and participation in local labour movements. Combining fieldwork, interviews, and socio-economic analysis, the book offers a rare, detailed portrait of women's agency within a traditionally male dominated agrarian system.
