9165. WOMEN, Labor and.—
I observe
women and children carrying heavy burdens,
and laboring with the hoe. This is an unequivocal
indication of extreme poverty.
Men, in a civilized country, never expose their
wives and children to labor above their force
and sex, as long as their own labor can protect
them from it.—
