Short summary
The paper explores how women in farming communities face exclusion from drought decision-making. They are adopting the "farmer" label for influence. Gender dynamics differ in dryland versus irrigation farming, shaped by tradition and migration. Interestingly, there is evidence of "othering" occurring between settler farming women and recent migrants.
