Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Abstract Chapter 10 examines rural domestic training for white women. Combining inspiration from the Canadian and American domestic science movements with the Afrikaner nationalist volksmoeder (‘mother of the people’) ideal, the authorities highlighted women’s duties of motherhood focused on the nation and cast domesticity as a corrective to the supposedly degenerative effects of female wage labour. White women eagerly sought out rural education services but, at the same time, transgressed Victorian notions of separate spheres that divided ‘male’ productive work from ‘female’ consumption. Teachers and students at the private Boschetto Agricultural College, the only agricultural college for women in the southern hemisphere, sought recognition as female farmers rather than as merely farmers’ wives. Nevertheless, government interventions to oppose women’s independent farming are indicative of how the rise of commercial farming devalued female contributions to agricultural production in South Africa and elsewhere.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
