Abstract
An exploration of the figure of the sexually frustrated and socially isolated bachelor farmer that became popular beginning in the 1930s. The essay sees the bachelor as a figure of gender resistance. Instead of stereotyping him as an example of religious repression and family pathologies, it reframes him as the victim of state regulation and suppression.
