For example, a shoemaker’s son also became a shoemaker. Women and girls spent most of their time preparing food or making clothing. Any surplus, or extra, food was preserved for the winter. Life required much physical labor, such as chopping wood and hauling water. When Sarah returned home, she noticed how much easier life is today because of modern technology.
