They had endless, backbreaking work - but no job in the sense of paid employment.

The day started at sunrise, serving up the meal that had been cooking over embers in a single pot all through the night. Then collecting eggs, milking a cow or goats, collecting water and firewood, cooking, cleaning, washing linen underwear, helping in the fields or on her husband's own plot of land next to the house, getting the children dressed and fed, baking bread and using cream from the milk to make butter, taking sacks of corn (that is wheat, barley, oats, millett, rye) to the mill for grinding into flour, making cheese, spinning wool into yarn and perhaps weaving on a loom, sewing and mending clothes, making an evening meal and putting pottage into the pot to cook overnight for the following day.

These are only some of the many tasks of a peasant woman, who would be ready to collapse exhausted into her bed every evening.
