Womens roles in early Canada

1. Women were expected to ow how to do all household work. They also needed to know how to make essential items for their family such as clothes.

“Cooking, curing meat, making butter and cheese, knitting, dress making, and tailoring… are good to be learned”

“The necessity of becoming aqquantied with the common branches of household work…”

2. Women in the olden days were pretty much all stay at home, and didn’t get jobs. This is why they mostly just did household work. Now since everyone can get jobs women’s roles have changed for everyne. Now any woman can go do what she wants not like in early canada when they HAD to do housework. Since there is more equality no there is no really specific women roles because they can do what ever they want.
