- In olden times the women did even more labourious work than men. Along with doing the house work they worked with the men out at almost all farm operations.They helped their husbants to cut the oats with the hook, they dug and picked the popatoes and often spread the turf in the bog, and feed the cows and pigs. Often after their hard days work they spun or carded flax or wool until they would go to bed. There were no carts or cars and they carried the eggs to town in a basket. and they carried heavy loads of goods home again
