Best Answer

The women worked hard, bore children, and raised families. Often children died in child birth or the husband would die leaving a woman with children alone. The women did everything to make the family run. Made the candles, churned the butter, hand washed the clothing, planted crops, feed the chickens, raised the children, chopped wood, carried water, cooked, made the clothes. The women who were on the wagon trains often walked the entire way. These ladies were strong and brave.
