Question

In the era before the Industrial Revolution, the expectation was that women would

work and equally take care of the home and children with their husbands in order to make enough to survive.
marry and stay at home to take care of the house and children while their husbands worked.
remain single or marry if they wished, have children or be child-free and own property.
work alongside their husbands while someone else took care of the home and the children.

Answer 1

work and equally take care of the home and children with their husbands in order to make enough to survive.

Before industrialization most families formed household economies: men and women both worked (in fields, cottage industries, dairies, etc.) and shared domestic and child‑rearing duties to sustain the family.
