Abstract

This autoethnographic narrative explores my evolving personal relationship with my paternal grandmother. Written from a feminist perspective, I explore issues related to gender, life course, leisure and family, recognizing that virtually our entire shared lives occurred in contexts wherein I was on vacation and she was not. Our relationship was also influenced by the spatial context of the central Wisconsin dairy farm where she worked and lived through most of her adult life, and generational nuances specific to her time. The preface is intended to provide scholarly context for the personal issues discussed in the body of text. After reading this preface, readers can proceed to www.ahs.uwaterloo.ca/~mhavitz/grandma/presentation.html for the full text.
