I believe taking care of the house is not something trivial. Everyone should be able to appreciate that. Women (wives and or mothers) who stay at home and do chores may not bring money into the house but they -with their love and sincerity- make the house like a palace, the problem is not everyone can appreciate that. Sometimes it is sad. It reminds me of my mother.
Despite our strict duty, when this label is put on women (what are you doing while staying at home), it is very painful.
In cold, heat, sun, shade, even in sickness, when a woman is not considered worthy of a little praise after doing her 24-hour duty, such a society definitely needs education.
In childhood, since we came from not a wealthy family, and my Mom needed to do some works outside to support our family financially, I and my siblings (1 brother and 1 sister), were taught to do the house chores. So I get the picture (even not a big one but I do) how it's like. I can see in your writing my sister for sure (even though she managed to get to a higher education and now has a good position in the city public hospital) and I can imagine my mother in it. Many women will will feel connected to this story.
Perhaps women's fight is the same as what they do to improve their situation. The vehicle of life continues to run like this from generation to generation.
