Amish life is very traditional, almost like life was 150 years ago. This means that gender roles are also very traditional. For women, custom dictates that they will not have careers or work outside the home. Their primary role is as wife and mother. Women are expected to perform domestic duties, such as cooking and cleaning and sewing. Amish girls are allowed to go to school, but only till the 8th grade. (The same is true for Amish boys.) Unmarried young women are allowed to be teachers, but early marriage and having a family are the norm.
For the most part, the men have the same gender roles you might have seen on the frontier in the mid-1800s. Men are considered the head of the family, and make the major decisions; women are expected to obey them. Because men are the ones who support the family, they are the ones who work outside the home, in occupations like farming, building and construction of fences or homes (but only within the community), artisan and craft-work, and raising and caring for animals (since the Amish reject most modern technology, the care of horses is important, since they are used for transportation). Men are also the religious leaders and direct the worship services.
