Abstract:

Women in the Triangle discuss modern feminism and the do-it-yourself culture(DIY). Triangle women discuss how they are choosing not to participate in the industrialized food culture. They say they do things like sew, garden, can food, and more to improve the quality of their family’s lives. These women also discuss how important community is to their participation in these activities and how they can complete them while working full-time jobs and having a family.
