Women used to work very hard to keep their husband and kids alive.
Fetching wood and water, cooking, cleaning. Carrying babies around
without an SUV.

Laundry used to be an enormous chore; my grammy had a wringer tub and
a clothesline, and kept and killed her own chickens, and cooked them
on a wood-fired stove.  And there was sewing and knitting and dealing
with diapers and such. Now if a sock or a t-shirt is torn, we throw it
away.

No birth control.  Lots of kids, many that died young.

Technology has helped women enormously. Men too.
