The homesteader's women had a hard life on the Prairie spending much of it alone. The men of the household were usually out farming most of the day so women were left to cook and clean. The cleaning was almost impossible as the sod houses attracted bugs and insects. The dust easily built up and while cooking; mud from the roof could drip into food and cause illnesses. This meant that children could get sick often and they would have to nurse the children with their own remedies as there was usually no doctor for miles. Lack of doctors and the men were out all day lead to child birth alone. When children were born she would have to make clothes for them and when clothes were ripped she would have to mend them. The life of a women homesteader usually involved a lot of walking as she could have to walk quite away to get water or collect dried cow dung for fuel. On days were there was much work to be done on the land the women had to help out too. They also had the job of killing snakes and keeping cattle away from crops. Unfortunately for some of the women there was no one else for miles and they were sometimes driven mad by the loud howling of the Prairie winds.
