Abstract
The paper presents a model of worktrip length for rural nonmetropolita n resident women. We find that some factors important in constraining the length of urban women's commute, such as linking worktrips with ho usehold-related trips, are less relevant in a rural setting. We also f ind that women working in non-feminized occupations, women receiving e mployer-provided health benefits, and women with better transportation resources, tend to have longer worktrips.
