During the 18th century, the women's role and work was extremely difficult and exhausting. For poor families in colonial times, women's full time job was housecare. Poor women had to cook meals, make clothing, and nurse their family, together with cleaning, making household goods to use and sell, taking care of their animals, keeping a fire going, and even taking care of the kitchen gardens. Middle class and wealthy women also did some of these chores in their households, but they usually had servants to help them.
