The paper presents a model of worktrip length for rural nonmetropolitan resident women. We find that some factors important in constraining the length of urban women's commute, such as linking worktrips with household‐related trips. are less relevant in a rural setting. We also find that women working in non‐feminized occupations, women receiving employer‐provided health benefits, and women with better transportation resources, tend to have longer worktrips.
