Traditionally, “women’s work” on the farm included chores like caring for smaller animals, vegetable gardening, child rearing, housework, and food preservation. By 1936, when this photo of a South Dakota “farm woman” checking her pantry supplies was taken, the farm woman’s role as the family’s primary shopper had become more central as more consumer goods were widely available.
This primary source comes from the Records of the Extension Service.
