Women on the goldfields coped by supporting their husbands in mining, running businesses like food stalls or laundry services, or working as cooks or entertainers. They formed tight-knit communities, provided mutual support, and often had to endure difficult living conditions. Some women also took on non-traditional roles such as prospecting for gold themselves.
