cook, clean, take care of the children and elderly, take care of the sick of the family, jar food for future meals, and take on the tasks of those who are sick. The woman of the past had a lot on their plate, many people think the men had harder jobs, but what do you think? Women also made homemade bread,cakes,pies and everything from scratch.They also made candles and soap.They plucked or skinned the meat to cook and made their clothing and their families.They probably grew their own vegtables and canned what was grown.They washed the laundry by hand and hung it out to dry or used one of those old washing machines that had a big roller to ring out the laundry.We came along way baby! Women still usually carry much of the load,we also sometimes work outside the home to help supplement the income or to completely contribute all the income,besides raising children and doing those necessary tasks at home. Thank goodness for microwaves and technology.
