I guess that they would have had the responsibility for the running of the house and the raising of the children. Wealthy people would have had maids and these women might have had more of a social life If they were free settlers, they might help with the farming (if the family was not wealthy). If they were poor or convicts, they might have worked in factories. There were probably some nurses and teachers. I would say that the women who came with religious groups had jobs related to that.
