[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All the females in my family worked. I can't think of one that didn't. My g-mother was born in 1899 and worked for the federal govt her whole life. My mom (born 1926) was a teacher, stayed home until I was born, had a daycare in the home, worked at a daycare center. [b]My dad's mom worked on their farm raising cattle. I guess that was their form of SAHM in her time in PA. [/b] My MIL worked for the fed, then in a doctor's office after the kids went to school.[/quote] I think that is very important. For many families of our grandparents/great grandparents generations, the "family farm" or "family business" was still a thing. I bet a lot our female ancestors "didn't work outside the home for paycheck" in the sense that we think of now, but they certainly worked and contributed to the household income by working the farm, minding the store, etc.[/quote]
