louisa_ :)louisa_@mastodon.socialJul 3, 2026, 5:16 PM@stellarsarah @futurebird yes, sorry, when I said "stay at home", I was thinking "ran the home" rather than just being ladies of leisure. But worth noting that poor women would have also been making the clothes for the family, as well as all the cooking/cleaning, and working outside the home, so very much working a double shift.
