"The Pig Farmer's Wife" immerses readers into a transformative era, referred to today as the second wave of feminism. Unfathomable as it may sound, it was a mere fifty years ago when women couldn't own a credit card in their own name, take out a bank loan, or manage their own monies without having a male-overseer agree responsibilty for them. The restrictions of that era lay the groundwork for this novel, with many twists and captivating turns turns as the female protagonists shatter the monetary barriers by ingeniously funding their business through unconventional means. As their enterprise flourished, the women not only challenged and revolutionized public perceptions of women-owned businesses, but they also proved their indispensable value to the community. How did these resourceful women navigate their financial obstacles, and what impact did their success have on societal views today?
