Can a farmer's wife be a feminist?

We handed Aisling O’Donovan a copy of Lorna Sixsmith’s How to be a Perfect Farm Wife and she came back shocked that such expectations, even tongue in cheek, could exist today

And frankly if that’s the only way to be a good wife to my farmer, I’d rather stay ringless.

My partner and I live together outside Killeagh in East Cork. He works on the farm. I run my own business. We’re happy but it seems according to farming blogger Lorna Sixsmith’s second published book How to be a Perfect Farm Wife, this arrangement probably won’t work if we get married.
