In rural societies where the main source of work is farming, women have also taken care of gardens and animals around the house, generally helping men with heavy work when a job needed to be done quickly, usually because of the season.
Nas sociedades rurais, onde a agricultura é o principal traballo, as mulleres tamén se ocuparon do coidado de campos e animais ao redor da casa, e axudaron aos homes co traballo pesado cando se necesitaba facer un traballo de forma rápida, polo xeral debido á tempada.
