- The conventional picture of gender relations in rural places is that of a traditional, masculine social fabric. In this article, we challenge this understanding of the rural. By applying three methodological approaches – quantitative, discursive and narrative – we test the hypothesis that there exists an on-going femininization of the rural, which is concealed by society’s focus on the masculine rural. Our conclusion is that each method can give important, but not necessarily sufficient, information to answer such a process-oriented question. The methodological triangulation demonstrates the complexity of the gendering of rural space. The quantitative analysis shows a gendered geography, the media analysis unpacks how gender is spatialized and the interviews show how space is gendered.
