1 Men and women led separate lives in the early colonies. The men were responsible for the heavy labor. They were generally responsible for making major decisions. A woman's work was usually in the home. She cooked, cleaned, and cared for the children. Occasionally, the woman of the house was allowed to earn a little extra money for the family by taking in sewing or laundry. Very seldom did you hear of a woman making important decisions on how a farm or large plantation should be run.
